Ok, I have cc gcc@gcc.gnu.org <mailto:gcc@gcc.gnu.org> on this reply

"arsenic.secondary@gmail.com <mailto:arsenic.secondary@gmail.com>” is what I would be using primarily for most of my interactions here, the other one is more for personal or urgent mails( free from all the noise from mailing lists that I am subscribed to ) so feel free to use it in case you want to send an urgent mail that need immediate attention.

I am totally ok with the timing and have access to both zoom and google meet for online meetings.

internet should not be a problem, I have access to an unlimited broadband WIFI connection along with decent amount of cellular data to back it up in case of speed drops or power failure.
