<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>The comments offered so far are excellent and I agree with them for the most part. But there does seem to be a dichotomy of qualities/qualifications that are deemed necessary. An individual experienced in Government Relations, International affairs, muti-stakeholder processes, track record of high level leadership, etc. and with a level of charisma may not track well with the operational experience and qualities that also have been mentioned. My opinion is that the Board is better served by looking at the former, leaving operational expertise to another role.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also have two questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Will be a mechanism for the community to submit candidates that they believe should be considered. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. There have been rumors that many of the Board will not consider another USA based candidate. I would like to confirm that that is not an official, or unofficial, criteria.</div>
