Ok, so you need to have line and link for each of the confirmed respondents, after your intro, such as:
"...ressed in code?
Invited Respondents:

Hi Beryl and Suzy,
My final intro paragraph and participants for the March Discussion are below.
Beryl - how do I start the discussion thread on the list? Do I just reply all on a CRUMB thread or is there something special I have to do? I plan to send it out on the 1st.
Thanks,
Victoria
CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS:

INTRODUCTION:
This month’s theme is co-hosted by two CRUMB team members, both doctoral researchers: Victoria Bradbury and Suzy O’Hara. (Our co-authored ISEA 2013 paper may be found here: http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au//bitstream/2123/9818/1/crumbdoctoral.pdf).
Victoria’s current research considers the performativity of code as it relates to participatory new media artworks. She is interested in ways that performativity exists in interactive systems that may or may not be labeled as “performances.”
The term performativity can be looked at from a linguistic or theoretical angle, or, as James Loxley states in his book Performativity, it can be used “quite generally to denote the performance aspect of any object or practice under consideration.” Inke Arns introduced the phrase the performativity of code to new media art discourse in her 2004 essay, Read_Me, Run_Me, Execute_Me: Software and its Discontents, or: It's the Performativity of Code, Stupid. In this article, Arns refers to performativity in the sense of J.L. Austin and speech act theory. She writes, “if I speak of the performativity of code, I claim that this performativity is not to be understood as a purely technical performativity, i.e. it does not only happen in the context of a closed technical system, but affects the realm of the aesthetical, the political and the social. Program code is characterized by the fact that here ‘saying’ coincides with ‘doing’.”
We have invited a variety of practitioners to this conversation. You are artists, designers, curators, professors and theorists. We look forward to learning your take on the performativity of code and seeing where your insight, along with the voices of all of the list participants, will take this conversation over the course of the month.
To start the discussion, please introduce yourself and let us know how you see the following question in relation to your practice:
In what ways is performativity expressed in code?

Hi,
reads fine to me, apart from the first 2 lines which read a bit clunkily- resolve to your mutual satisfaction!
So, invite away, and if they accept do remind them about their 2-line credit for the "Invited Respondents" list.

Dear Suzy, Beryl and Sarah,
Below is my draft intro paragraph for the March Discussion list (references need to be finessed) and following is my list of invitees. Please let me know if you see any changes or additions (particularly Suzy as you are listed as a co-host, but be assured I will take the lead on the month's discussion). I hope to begin to invite people this weekend.
Thanks.

The Performativity of Code March Discussions Intro Paragraph:
_______________________________________________
This month’s theme is co-hosted by two CRUMB team members: doctoral researcher and new media artist Victoria Bradbury, and Suzy O’Hara, curator of Thinking Digital Art and doctoral researcher at CRUMB.

She is interested in ways that performativity exists in interactive systems that may or may not be labeled as “performances.”
The term performativity can be looked at from a linguistic or theoretical angle, or, as James Loxley states, it can be used “quite generally to denote the performance aspect of any object or practice under consideration.” Inke Arns introduced the phrase “the performativity of code” to new media art discourse in her 2004 essay, Read_Me, Run_Me, Execute_Me: Software and its Discontents, or: It's the Performativity of Code, Stupid.
