[Air-L] Announcing the *Critical Commons Research Network*

[Nanci Oddone]

Hello Zach
Fantastic initiative!
I've got the error message too, after filling out the google form and
sending an email to criticalcommonsresearch+subscribe at googlegroups.com.
Looking forward to the "Birds of a Feather" meetup at AoIR 2025 next Friday.
