            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>The GitHub repository containing the P4 specification
              is now public. There is no change to our processes for
              updating the spec (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="https://github.com/p4lang/p4-spec/wiki/Maintenance-Process">https://github.com/p4lang/p4-spec/wiki/Maintenance-Process</a>)
              but the world can now post issues, see branches, and
              generally watch things change as we develop the
              specification.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>One small request: please make sure that any pull
              requests against the spec come from your organization's
              designated representatives. I don't want Prem or others to
              have to spend lots of time determining if a contribution
              can be accepted.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I'm personally very glad to see this change happen --
              openness is one of the key principles of the <a
                moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://P4.org">P4.org</a>
              community, so there's no reason not to do things this way!</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Thanks to Anirudh for suggesting this, and to everyone
              else who offered feedback.</div>
            <div><br>

            <div>Regards,</div>
