+Hi All,
+
+
+I'd like to announce my candidacy for PTL of Storlets to continue my PTL role
+for the upcoming Bobncat release.
+
+Because the project is currently small and has been stable for a while, our
+current focus is to maintain CI and adapt to changes in swift as well as
+dependent libraries. We also have a few potential improvements pending so I'm
+hopimg we can complete some of these during this cycle.
+
+Thank you for your consideration.
+
+Thank you,
+Takashi
