[David Kanter]

Hi Everyone,

First of all, thank you for your strong support of the MLCommons community. We have been successful because of our great leaders and participants.

I would like to extend a big round of thanks to our outgoing chair – Sachin Idgunji (NVIDIA). He has made tremendous contributions to the Power group and the broader community and we owe him a huge thanks for his energy and enthusiasm!
