Hi Michael,

Are you suggesting to keep "Mimi Ph\373\364ng-Th\345o V\365" and a FIXME
instead of changing it to "Mimi Phuong-Thao Vo" which is how she spells
her name on her LinkedIn profile and other websites?

I doubt anyone prefers their name to be spelled with octal escape
characters.

Thanks,
Thorsten
