Hi John, I've copied the alias to answer the question about being a sponsor. I was answering the general questions, and there should be a reply about the sponsor requset. Valerie, FYI, I put John's name on the request-sponsor table yesterday for the bug IDs that were updated on the PAC status wiki table because I assumed the sponsor request was approved - but I realize now that there wasn't a response yet - sorry if I screwed that up.
