Dear AOV members,

Hope this finds all well.

First, let me say thank you for your ongoing support for this community. I am very honored to be elected as the new Chair.

This is my first task. I am happy to announce that Lucia McCallum from UTAS accepts to be our new Secretary. (Actually she got married just recently. Congratulations again!)

We are looking forward to the further development of this group.

Best regards,

Takahiro Wakasugi
