And I guess the further question is how we address the academic part of the
³academic and technical community² representation. Certainly in the past we
have nominated academic representatives and we have many academics involved
here.

Interesting that the letter nominates firm membership quotas for the first
time. Is that new?

I¹m trying to understand the implications of this for our Nomcom which looks
like having a busy time to get names in by January 31.

We should forward 10 names (or perhaps more?)

No more than 4 should be current members who we are nominating to stay on ­
or if we nominate more than 4 of the current members to stay on,  we should
expand our pool beyond 10 by that number to allow for a choice of 10, no
more than 4 of whom are current members?
