Dear Colleagues,

Committee appointed a Search Committee, drawn from across the
constituencies involved in GFAR, to seek a new Chairperson for GFAR, who
will commence their role in April 2013.

The Steering Committee has determined that the role of GFAR Chairperson
will be publicized widely and transparently to ensure the best possible
candidate is identified from around the world.

The Search Committee has been asked to seek suitable candidates to apply,
or be nominated, for the position through an open process, select and
interview if required from a developed long list of the top 10 candidates
and draw up a short list of 3 leading candidates with an assessment of
their merits and capabilities, for selection by the GFAR Steering Committee.
