Thank you.

To the first witness, you mentioned that other countries have an IP czar or chief. You also mentioned that we have a varied and overlapping group of sciences that require this: pharma, agriculture, nano, forestry, software.

Are you suggesting that we have one individual in charge, or a panel? How would we ever find one person who would have the expertise in all these areas to be an IP czar?
