Vlad, Is the whole board re/elected in October or just those standing down? My feeling is that even if we speed up the process we will not do much better than appointing someone by end July. And is having someone on the board two months earlier that critical. So maybe it would be better to word the letter with the assumption that we will stick with the current timescale unless Lynne advises us that he would rather we appoint a replacement as soon as possible. What do others think?
