<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I hope you and your loved ones are well. It is deeply concerning watching and hearing reports about how different countries are handling the global pandemic. Because of Covid, I have delayed
reaching out to you. There are, however, three things that need our attention. These are:
<b>1)</b> a new Chair of the Commission; <b>2)</b> Vacancies in our Steering Committee; and
<b>3)</b> a 2 – 3 page summary of Commission plans.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">1: New Chair</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">My term as Chair comes to an end in August of this year. We need to elect a new one. To remind you,
</span><span lang="mi-NZ" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I have served one term as Chair and one term as Steering Committee member. As much as I love this role, it is time for someone else to lead the Commission.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><br>
In the past, we have held the view that the Chair could be filled by a past Steering Committee member or someone else who has had close involvement with the Commission’s activities. This is not to be exclusive, rather, our intent is to point out that it would
likely be helpful to ensure that whoever was elected Chair has some familiarity with the Commission and involvement with its activities. Election of this individual could either be open or by the Steering Committee. I suggest that this be a Steering Committee
election in the way that committees in many contexts, once formed, elect their own leaders.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>31 May</b> if you would like to be the next Chair of the Commission. If there is more than one person, then we will ask for people to share vision statements and put it to a Steering Committee vote.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
