                <p>Hi Tomslin, <br>
                </p>
                <p>This is hard as there is really no one in the queue
                  with your depth of experience - and your close
                  relationship to Council.</p>
                <p>Would you be willing to hold the position for another
                  year, and then we can begin a search?  During that
                  time, perhaps we can train or groom some possible
                  successors?  If member and Councilors could take small
                  parts of the NCSG Policy meeting -e.g., single agenda
                  items to prepare, present, and field questions -
                  perhaps they will grow to feel more comfortable with
                  the larger process (and NCSG will grow to feel more
                  comfortable with them)?</p>
                <p>You do your job tremendously well!  Tx you!</p>
