Who has resigned. And so if you are reappointmented what are some of the areas that you would like to be able to focus on in your work on the task force. Again, really the by laws to make our policy and practices a little more concrete, and so that we know that we have the procedures so that one complainant may know what their inaudible and making sure that we have a fair hearing. Also the calendar of officials and of course, the it issues are also big issues that we need to focus on. Thank you. And you mentioned equity in the terms of the processes of the task force, what would that look like . How would you envision bringing equity . So, one of the things that we are working on is the person does not show up for the hearing what do we do . Do we grant a continuance or do we just take the case and i allow for a continuance because they filed the complaint and they deserve to have it heard at some point, whether they could not make the date that they actually are schedule for.
