<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Please process as soon as possible this request for CESG (and then CMC) approval of the process of reclaiming the Simulator SCIDs that have been assigned in the SANA SCID registry, and further
to relinquish any SCIDs for S/C that are no longer in active operation. This has been discussed and agreed in today’s CMC meeting, but we need to process it as a formal approval.</span></font></div>
