It was also noted that the nominees would be required to submit a statement of interest (SOI) and that they fully understand the obligations and time commitments.
A Selection Committee of Glenn McKnight, Judith Hellerstein and Alan Greenberg was created to review the SOIs of the nominees as well as the extent to which they satisfied the obligations and requirements. The Selection Committee will select the candidate by Friday, 12 August.
