Hi Channel, It’s been quiet on this list and wanted to reboot us a bit. Don’t forget this list is a platform for you to engage on issues, topics and even questions and suggestions and generally keep you updated on everything Next Round. This past week, the program achieved some critical milestones that some of you may already be aware of namely. 1.
