Since I am new to this...no.
 If we're missing a team leader I can do it for the European/Asian/Oceania branch if this is how the teams are made this time. I was unsure if I was going to a cabin with dubious WiFi, but sadly I'm not. Providing someone as skilled as Emily will make the spreadsheet, since that's not high on my skills list.
