Dear everyone,
I hope that everyone is healthy and not too overwhelmed by COVID-19.
I would like to inform about the progression of the selection of new IMN Committee Member. Because the number of nominees (n=4) were within the range that the IMN committee decided a prior to consider whether we should consider taking them all or decide on the target number for voting. After the thorough discussion among IMN Committee during the last 2 months, we unanimously agree to have all four of them as new IMN Committee member. Therefore, there will not be the voting for this year.
The four new IMN committee member are
- Enoka Corea,
- Fazle Rabbi Chowdhury,
- Mark Mayo and
- Ya-Lei Chen.
They all aim to contribute to work to support the community further. Please join me in welcoming them.
Kind regards,
Direk Limmathurotsakul
