[ghc-steering-committee] Proposal #601: extension lifecycle

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Dear Simon, Sebastian, Chris, Erik

I don't think you have responded to my email below, not updated the
spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e6GdwHmAjeDEUhTvP-b18MDkpTfH3SMHhFu5F3nDIWc/edit?usp=sharing>.
Any particular reason?  I don't want to accept the proposal if there are
any strenuous objections.

In the case of Erik and Sebastian it's possible that you have not been
added correctly to the GHC Steering Committee mailing list, so I'm
including your email addresses in the to: field

Thanks

Simon
