Hello again everyone! I haven't done any community updates since the start of the year, and I believe today is a good opportunity to do so.

As you may notice in the title, we have added a new face to the subreddit Board of Governance. For most subreddits adding mods is a mundane and trivial matter, but obviously we take the composition of our leadership team seriously with an emphasis on maintaining a small but effective group; so I felt a bit of an introduction was in order.

This is a position we have had increasing need for over the past few months, and we feel we have found the perfect candidate to fill it. If you have a chance, please give a warm welcome to u/i_use_3_seashells!

Without getting into too many specifics, u/i_use_3_seashells will primarily be working within our team on projects involving automation of posting for some regularly scheduled reports, If you have any interest in contributing to this, as I have had people reach out to me in the past regarding such projects, IU3S should be your primary point of contact going forward.

I won't divulge too much information about IU3S on a personal level, for obvious reasons, but just know that they have been vetted as having extensive and relevant industry work experience as is expected of all our BoG members.

With this addition, we have no expectations of adding any additional members for at least the next 6 months, but more likely closer to 12 months.

I don't have much else to report, things have been fairly quiet otherwise. If you have any specific meta/policy/etc. questions or concerns, feel free to voice them below and the team will get back to you on them.
