Hi all,

As you may know my term as security AD ends in March and
nomcom are starting off the process of picking a security
AD for the following two years.

While I do intend to stick my name into the hat for
another turn at the wheel, as of now, and as is typical
in academia, my funding for that is not certain.

So I would like to really encourage anyone who's able
and interested in taking on the security AD gig to think
about that, talk to your sponsors/management and try to
make sure your name is also there for nomcom to consider.
It really is important that nomcom have a good slate
from which to select regardless of whether or not a
good, bad or indifferent incumbent's name is also there.

If you are thinking about it, and will be in Toronto,
please do feel free to chat with me or Kathleen (or
Sean who's just recently finished up) and we can fill
you in on what's involved and further twist your arm:-)
Or, just get in touch via mail.

While the AD gig is a chunk of work, its actually
pretty interesting so please do think about it. Or
if you know someone you think would be good at it,
please try talk them into putting their name in.

Thanks,
Stephen.

PS: Please don't reply on-list to this.
