Thank you for this submission, @abebars - after some review, we believe Tiara would be a good candidate for co-organizing this chapter, but the reason we ask for company affiliation is to assure no more than half of the organizers come from the same company. This is to assure vendor-neutrality. That said, Tiara and you coming from the New York Times, is exactly half, so as long as David and Julia remain on the team, there is no issue.

That said, we just need the following to complete her addition to the chapter:

• Tiara to reply here with a link to her Credly badge proving completion of the above-mentioned open and inclusive course.
• Either Julia or David to comment with their approval giving the majority approval
