[Gsc-hca-family] [Gsc-hca-all] Election meeting on Monday, April 6

[GSC HCA Chair]

Hi everyone,

Due to a lack of potential candidates, we are postponing this meeting in
order to have more time to meet with potential people and gather more
interest (we don't want to call a meeting if there won't be anyone running).

If you are interested in running, please do reach out to us.  We are happy
to take you to lunch (or ice cream!!) to chat about the position.  If you
know anyone who you think might be a good fit, please let us know and we
will reach out to them.

We will keep you posted about a new elections meeting date.

Cheers,
Andrea, Boris, and George
