I'll start and then let Dave finish, because it's a very good question.
We're almost an amalgamation of two bodies in the U.S.: the U.S. Arctic Research Commission and the polar board, which does more with the Antarctic side of things for the U.S. Their focus is primarily on research and I think on coordinating departmental and agency thinking on Arctic research in the U.S. We don't have that function. We don't organize departments as to their research agendas.
Otherwise, we have a lot of common structural issues. They're appointed by the president. They've had some vacancies on their board that have only recently been filled. They have a chair who is also a northerner, Fran Ulmer, from Alaska. She is the former lieutenant governor of Alaska. I must that say when we sit down and talk to each other in our joint board meetings, we have a lot in common.
Dave.
