[bestbits] A Day0 proposal, tentatively submitted as individual by submission deadline.

Mon Apr 15 15:47:33 EDT 2019

This is truly great. Thank you both sivasubramanian and Sheetal for
submitting requests, especially when last years schedule and lack of day
zero prevented us from having a coordination meeting.

Very much appreciated.

best,
bruna
