To: BC MembersFrom: Marilyn Cade, BC Chair, on behalf of ExeComm Subject: Change in officers On behalf of the BC ExeComm, I would like to thank Rick Anderson, who has been volunteering as interim V.Chair, Operations and Finance. The Executive Committee asks that you join in expressing our appreciation for Rick's contributions in the interim period. Rick will continue to be an active member of the Finance Committee. Please join the Execomm in welcoming Chris Chaplow, Andalucia who has accepted the ExeComm's invitation to assume the title, and responsibilities of Vice Chair, Operations and Finance. Chris was formerly the Finance Representative, and has agreed to assume the Vice Chair role. Chris is already hard at work, assuming the day to day interface with webmaster, Sjobeck, and with Gary Hills, who will be continuing in a limited role undertaking invoicing and database maintainance while a longer term approach is developed under Chris' leadership. You will be hearing from Chris on Tuesday's call on some key advances he and I are working toward, and which he will be presenting in our June meeting. Tuesday's call will be a preview for members on changes in website, and other enhancements proposed. According to the Charter, this is an interim secondment, and will be formalized by an election within 6 months. However, in the interim, Chris holds full responsibility and will be a full member of the ExeComm. Chris will be joining the other ExeComm members in hosting the members' calls coming up tomorrow and next week. I will also take this opportunity to announce, based on members requests, that next week's call will be adjusted to allow members to participate in the ICANN policy update. Stay tuned for a change in time on that call.
