Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for coming here today. Let's be clear. I think we're talking about two different situations that are relevant, but both are important to the integrity of the IRB. First is the political involvement in making appointments. Second is the paralysis in appointing IRB judges. I have a couple of questions.
Mr. Green, I'll direct them to you. Do you feel, in comparing the proposed new process of appointing IRB judges to the previous one, that the new one is an improvement?
