In this newly-created position, David will be responsible for providing research and analytical support for our various committees and initiatives. In particular, he will work on aspects of our risk management activities, providing technical assistance on issues surrounding the Basel capital accord. He will oversee our market survey and will work with those committees (operations, collateral) and related staff members that produce surveys in other areas. Finally, he will continue his involvement in our conferences, working with Mary and her group to develop ideas for other training seminars. I encourage you to use David as a resource whenever you believe that his analytical skills would be useful in supporting committee activities. David has a Ph.D. in Economics and was most recently with Rutter Associates, the consulting firm started by Charles Smithson, a former ISDA Board member. Prior to that, David was with J.P. Morgan and worked on a number of policy and capital related issues. He brings to ISDA a great deal of industry experience, as well as a wonderful, quirky sense of humor, and I am sure you will all enjoy working with him. Bob
