+Hello. I would like to announce my candidacy for Searchlight PTL for V.
+
+I've been the PTL for Searchlight for the last three cycles.
+I believe I have enough understanding and confidence to
+help to maintain it and I would love to.
+
+In the previous cycles, the team laid out a vision [2] and identified some usecases [1].
+But, we hadn't have enough human resources to implement them so I would want to give it
+one more cycle to accomplish it.
+
+Thank you for your consideration.
+Trinh Nguyen (dangtrinhnt)
