Beta Programs: Changes to Partner Management Process

[Daniela Giri]

Thank you Philip, for this clarification.

Of course, I see no issue in keeping your current authorizations and
granting you access to the 'bcl-beta-partners' mailing list, as well as the
ability to add and remove partners.

@Scott Bahling <sbahling at suse.com>, if you're okay with that as well, I
will provide Philip with the required access.
Please let us know.

Thanks,
   Daniela
