Some of the information there will inform our agenda for this year, which we will discuss in our next meeting.<br><div><br></div><div>As noted in the report, we are trying to standardize the committee terms and add new members annually or biennially while keeping the committee relatively small and nimble. According to Marty, most of you started in 2019, except for Mark and Kristin, who have been on the committee for a longer time. If you have any recollection of the year you started, please let us know (just to keep the records straight), and please also indicate your level of interest in staying on the committee. We want to add a couple of new members (recall an email went out to all LTER soliciting statements of interest), so we are looking for volunteers to be replaced - but of course, we would love for you to stay involved if you are game to do so. </div><div><br></div><div>Please respond to me separately or go ahead and reply all if you're comfortable with that. We are gearing up the Americas regional network, so you have just seen an email about that, and we will plan for the first International Committee meeting of 2022 sometime in the first quarter. Look for a scheduling email from Tessa Martinez (cc'd) once the committee roster has been sorted. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, </div><div>Nancy (on behalf of co-chairs Nancy Grimm and David Iwaniec)</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Arial,"Sans Serif";font-size:10pt;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);padding-right:8px;padding-left:8px;line-height:16px"><tbody style="margin:0px"><tr style="margin:0px"><td style="line-height:14px;padding:0px;color:rgb(128,128,128)"><span style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt">Nancy B.
