Hi,

Thanks for arranging this, Stephanie, and thanks for your availability this Friday, Matt. I’ll try to make the call, but just wanted to say that I’m glad Matt is willing and able to run for a second term. Should our commercial counterparts in the NCPH find it agreeable, I’d be very happy to have Matt appointed by the NCPH for a second term.

Thanks again.

Amr
