Thanks for the clarification, Jari.  I support doing thing in this order.  

It is very important that we resolve the current Transport AD selection issues as quickly as possible.  I don't have much visibility into what is happening there, despite being a candidate, but I hope some progress can be made on this issue in the TSV area meeting.

It is also important that we make whatever changes we can to improve the overall situation, both within the Transport Area and across the board, and it would be great if we could make some progress in this area in time for the next NomCom cycle.  

Thanks,
Margaret
