David, All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for the update and all the effort with coordinating/communicating with the group.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would strongly second Martha’s and Ian’s nomination for the committee.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for nominating me for this role. I think that my previous experience (scientific & managerial) would be helpful,</div>
<div class="">and that I could play a constructive (and needed) role in this effort. I would be willing to serve if endorsed by the group.</div>
<div class="">I am under no illusions re the challenges and the effort needed, but this is a critical moment for our community to come together, </div>
<div class="">and we need to step up and do what is necessary.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I assure you that I can communicate effectively with Xiangdong (even when it is not easy… have done so more than once in past efforts) </div>
<div class="">and will make all the necessary effort to get everyone on the same page in the critical period ahead.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would commit to working with all of us and trying to form an effective collaboration with our partners in the larger group.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And, yes, I would certainly suggest that David be included and continue to represent this group that he brought together.</div>
<div class="">This should not be a question.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>

<div class="">Hi All,<br class="">
<br class="">
Just to sound everyone out - I was going to suggest Ian and Martha, and indeed Martha has already agreed since she has already an established record on GPDs. I think it important to make emphasize this is not a Jlab-centric effort but broader. I should add
that I haven’t emailed any names to Xiangdong and Feng yet, merely that we need to confirm their willingness first given the efforts that will be involved.<br class="">
<br class="">
Any other thoughts? Christian (who has led these efforts before)? If there are four, I would also propose that I join simply because I’ve been most directly in contact with Xiangdong, rather than as a lattice expert.<br class="">
<br class="">
Regards,<br class="">
