<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">For similar reasons to those expressed by Kaveh on the last committee call, I will abstain from voting in this election. PTI is represented here, I believe, to advance proposals
and to discuss their practical impact on operations in the committee’s deliberations. I do not want to be seen as interfering in what is essentially a community-driven selection process for the chair role.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
