<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Dear all,</span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">I hope you all just saw our e-mail to all-lter with the timeline and parameters for NIMO – let me know if it didn’t get through to you. Based on this timeline you can expect many opportunities for input, discussions,
and contribution and proposal reading requests. </span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">We do realize that this timeline doesn’t leave any overlap for transitioning technologies and functionality from the current LNO to the new NIMO and we will need a lot of help from all IMs to make this transition
possible. Of course the NCO will be involved in this transition as well as there are e-mail lists, websites and content moving into their purview.</span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Right now we are looking for a few IMs to self-identify an interest in reading drafts of the proposal and staying closely engaged in the writing process by providing feedback quickly and frequently. The EB has
identified a few members to also read the proposal drafts, so we would mirror their approach in the IM community.
</span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Furthermore we (IMexec in this case) are looking for a few IMs to self-identify an interest in being more actively involved in the transition process. Although, we will need input from everyone at some points,
there will be the need for a few to be more active in evaluating all our current NIS products and suggesting options for how to move them forward.</span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Thanks everyone</span></div>
<div class="yiv0697665654MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">IMexec, Corinna and Paul</span></div>
