structure<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>If I understood Avri correctly yesterday, the immediate concern is
to address where this coming year's NCA's sit, as it is possible (but not a
sure thing) that next year the NomCom itself will take on the role. So any
decision made now could be with the understanding that it is for this year
only, with the three known NCAs.<BR><BR>Or it could be a generalized solution
that will work every year if the NomCom does not do it.<BR><BR>One last
thought is that if option e is adopted, I do not think that it would be fair
to say that Andrey Kolesnikov is destined to fill that role for his entire two
years. He applied for the position based on the old structure and
rules.<BR><BR>Alan<BR><BR>At 04/09/2009 02:47 PM, Olga Cavalli wrote:<BR>
