+Hi All,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy for Glance PTL for the
+Yoga cycle.
+
+I've had the great privilege of leading this team for
+the past four releases. During this time we worked towards
+improving and stabilizing image import workflow and the multiple
+stores support features.
+
+Over the past three/four years we've had a small team looking
+after Glance and planned the priorities accordingly. During
+Xean cycle we started putting efforts in refactoring policy
+enforcement to move policy checks at API layer and remove the
+current policy and authentication layer and implement secure RBAC
+project scope for metadef APIs. 
+
+In Yoga our priority will be to implement system scope and mark
+secure RBAC feature as stable, remove policy and authentication layer
+rom code base. Also we will keep focusing on improving tempest coverage
+for glance.
+
+Thank you for taking my self nomination into consideration,
+Abhishek Kekane (abhishekk)
