<br>
Erik, this is unfortunate news for the project, but I hope it means good<br>
things for you professionally.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to throw my name in for the PSC Chair position. And I also<br>
like the idea of having term limits to encourage circulation. (And if<br>
someone else wants the upcoming shift more, I will gladly wait.)<br>
