Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Fleury. Thank you for coming. We really appreciate your coming here today.
First, I want to recognize your public service and the sensitivity that you feel you're probably in. I want to assure you that what we're trying to do here today is to understand what's going on and learn from your experience. We're just looking forward to your honest feedback and frank thoughts on this matter.
I want to start off by asking you to share with us your thoughts on how you felt the progress has been on the appointment process of IRB judges since you were appointed in 2001.
