<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; 
font-size:10pt;"><div>Operations&nbsp;should not be&nbsp;a primary CEO role. 
That is a COO role and I agree that operations is/will be critical over the 
next few years. But&nbsp;trying to find&nbsp;someone with both qualifications 
is not practical. I suggest they are separate, and equally important for 
different reasons. So to the extent that the operations role needs improvement, 
there should do a separate search for a well qualified COO (or 
President/COO).<BR></div>

comments offered so far are excellent and I agree with them for the most part. 
But there does seem to be a dichotomy of qualities/qualifications that 
are&nbsp;deemed necessary. An individual experienced in Government Relations, 
International affairs, muti-stakeholder processes,&nbsp;track record of high 
level leadership, etc. and with&nbsp;a level of charisma may not track well 
with the operational experience and qualities that also have been 
mentioned.&nbsp;My opinion is that the Board is better served by looking at the 
former, leaving operational expertise to another 
role.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div></DIV>
