I'm happy to work on the remote participation aspect of the process, that
is 1. I did stress that during the Focus Session in Bali and also during
the open mic session.

Web Foundation is keen on working on Web We Want, so the openness, freedom
and fundamental Internet principles are of interest to us.

I'm on 1 + 2 (no, not addition. dont make it 3, just 1, then 2.  lol)

Best
