Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the small search group appointed by the ARC 
Board of Governors at its Nov 2006 Annual Meeting (consisting of Suzanne 
Hawley, Richard Kron, Scott Tremaine and myself with support from Bruce 
Gillespie) to identify leadership for the AS2 ("After Sloan2") project has 
reached an agreement with Daniel Eisenstein (U Arizona) to serve as the 
AS2 Director-Designate, pending an official appointment by the Board 
itself.  Daniel will assume these duties effective immediately (and, in 
fact, has already begun his activities as such).  We are all very pleased 
that Daniel has accepted the position and are confident that the 
(proto-)project will now be able to move forward with new energy, 
effectiveness and direction as a result.  I hope that all concerned with 
the success of AS2 will give Daniel the support and cooperation that he 
will be requesting.

In addition, I can report that we expect to appoint a small Steering 
Committee (SC) which will provide management oversight and through which 
the AS2-Director will report to the Board.  The SC will also work towards 
the formation of a more formal group, analogous to the Sloan Survey 
Advisory Councils, with which it will replace itself and will provide 
leadership in initial AS2 fund raising efforts.

Ed Turner
ARC BoG Chair
and for S. Hawley, R. Kron and S. Tremaine
