Adam: Who to replace palage is a great question. From your work on the Nominating Committee, do you have any suggestions? Palage was unique (I nominated him initially!) and I don't know who could replace him. I fear if we don't come forward with a name, the Intellectual Property Constituency will be more than happy to offer one. Regards, Kathy > Hi.
