[AT-Review] Comments about fellowship program transparency

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

As I am currently presenting in my role as ALAC Chair to the fellowship, and
am so being made aware of a number of established and being released changes
(including full transparency of who the selectors are etc.,) already planned
 I will ask Janice / Mandy to prepare for the ATRT a briefing on these
initiatives running  now and what their plans are for the near and medium
term future...

Louie, I assume you will be the point of contact here...
