Hello everyone
...
If you have opted in to receive news form Kantara, you will have received 'Keep up with Kantara' in your mailbox around the middle of last month. 'Keep up with Kantara' is designed to give you more frequent updates because a) we have so much happening that batching monthly here or quarterly in the newsletter s results in a long message, and b) by the time you read it, much of it is in the past. I hope you found value in it. Contact us with your comments.
