<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">These are 50% of our steering group!! We were also already told of another pending AD retirement next Spring. Peter and Jonathan have WG chair roles as well but filling those
roles is handled separately for now and we prefer to address the AD vacancy first in Peter’s case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">At our last mid-year telecon, we agreed to accelerate the nomination and selection process as much as possible to have the new ADs either announced at the November meeting or
at least be in the final stage. Peter and Jonathan can stay longer after the selection and be considered Emeritus AD to ease the transition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">I am requesting nominations for these three roles ASAP. I am sending this one email instead of 3 separate emails. However, when you reply, you are free to send your agency
nominations in one, two, or three emails, depending on how many candidates you have.
