Email Action Items

Needs Action

  • Legal 101 broadcast delivery failures — sal-seed-grantees@lists.stanford.edu permanently failed, several lists (sal-all-staff, sal-initiatives-staff, entrepreneurship, gsecommunity) awaiting moderator approval, some individual bounces. You have 34 RSVPs so core list likely got through, but verify key people were reached.
  • Google Cloud Firebase — Legacy Cloud Functions 1st gen environment config being retired by March 31, 2027. Long timeline but flag for dashboard/Firebase projects. Add to someday list.
