[Eg-oversight-board] DIG would like to pull "Evergreen in Action" eBook from lulu.com

[Ben Hyman]

Thanks for the heads up Yamil,

Just to confirm - is DIG contacting lulu.com to request removal or would you like to add this to the EOB's upcoming agenda for discussion/decision/action?

I'm interested to know what revenue the project's received to date from sales.
Cheers!
