In April 2018 we had an e-mail discussion regarding changes to the SC.

Here is a – hopefully correct – summary of those changes.

1. First of all, I stated that I would like to step down as SC chair and become an alumni.

Kim Mens : SC Chair —> alumni

2. After that statement the name of Vadim was mentioned as new SC chair and supported by at least two SC members.

Vadim Zaytsev : SC member —> SC Chair

Vadim, would you accept to take on this task?
SATTOSE SC, are there any objections or other volunteers to take over my role as SC chair?

3. Finally, the following 2 persons were mentioned and supported as candidates to be added to the SC :

- Alexandre Bergel —> SC member
- Eleni Constantinou —> SC member

4. The following persons also expressed that they were willing to step down (in the future) if needed:
- Coen De Roover
- Oscar Nierstrasz
- Davide Di Ruscio

For the moment, unless there are any objections I would propose the changes 1, 2 and 3 above.
I would propose not to perform point 4 yet, in order to avoid having a drain of old SC members, unless some of those SC members insist to step down now.
All these points above have been discussed before.
Evidently, for point 2 it would be nice to have the new SC chair’s explicit agreement.
In case Vadim agrees and I here no further objections we can enact these changes.
That will then be my last act as SATTOSE SC chair.
