+Hello,
+
+I would like to continue serving as PTL for Release Management during the
+Xena cycle. Wallaby was my first PTL experience and it allowed me to deeply
+improve my knowledge about Openstack.
+
+I'd like to continue to work on growing the core team to constitute
+experienced team members to whom we could pass the torch. Anything we can do
+to help anyone to join the team and know what to do and how to do it will
+be better for us all.
+
+We have a lot of our processes mostly automated, but we also have few
+unfinished business from the Wallaby cycle. So as a PTL I have the intention
+to make the team focus on finishing these work.
+
+It has been an interesting, active and rewarding release cycle, and I am
+excited to continue learning and applying those lessons to keep things moving
+and looking for any ways I can add to the already great body of work we have
+in our release. I will be happy to do it if you give me the opportunity.
+
+Thanks for your consideration,
+
+Hervé
