[governance] Funeral Notice

Fri Dec 20 06:47:42 EST 2019

Dear all,

Thank you, I shall send it today. If an Urdu speaker is able to translate
it to Urdu at some point over the next three hours, I think that would also
be a nice gesture. No worries if not as I understand it is late notice.

I'll send it at 3 PM UTC.

Best
Sheetal.
