Quick personal update: my mother recently had a serious health event. She's been very clear about what she wants—to be at home, to rest, and when it's time, to go with dignity and peace.

My priorities are shifting accordingly. The governance work continues, but my bandwidth will be uneven. I'll be slower to respond and more selective about what I engage with.

I'm sharing this so you understand the context, not because I expect anything. The most helpful thing right now is being able to focus on the work that matters and the people who matter, while I still have this time with her.
