Jean-Jacques Subrenat addressed the process by which the Board Governance Committee (BGC) allocates responsibilities on committees and working groups and the method of selection of the chair of those entities, including a suggestion that the members of the selected group convene to select a leader.
Dennis Jennings, as Chair of the BGC, confirmed that the BGC will take the process under consideration pursuant to Jean-Jacques request, and apologized for not having had the opportunity to personally contact the members of the working group prior to the publication of the proposed Board resolution.
