Let me clarify what I said. I hope everyone who is interested will sign up to be a potential mentor, and will help by reading and ranking student proposals. And I include both you and me in that everyone.

But somebody needs to be the officially designated admin and the last word on decisions, and I thought that was going to be Shawn. If you (or anyone else) wants to do it, I would be fine with that. But I do not feel comfortable taking on the responsibility myself.
