· Carolyn has been appointed as the interim Chair of the Nomination Committee.

· Judy Vezmar has been appointed as the new Chair of the Remuneration Committee (having served as a member of the Committee for over 5 years); and

· Apurvi Sheth has been appointed as a member of the Audit Committee, for so long as Carolyn is interim Chair.
