Sure, am one of the core volunteers this year. I do not want to work in a
place where there is no trust. Please consider this as my formal email to
give up being a core volunteer for PyCon India 2018. Request the volunteers
who can build trust with the whole community to take this year PyCon India
forward. Thanks for all your valuable inputs. I rest my case.

Thanks,
Vanitha
