perhaps best to wait now we are getting new ML's and see what they have to say about it?

I'm willing to talk about changing the region, but it is something I need to talk about with the co-MLs too. I can't change the region personally and it is something that OLL has to do. I have not...

Very late reply, but yes. I have been on a writing session in the city Utrecht in the province Utrecht once and once (maybe twice, not sure if they were both "official" (AKA, had a ML there) in...
