DiCamillo, an independent member of our Board, to replace Mr. Yovovich on the Nominating and Governance Committee, effective at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Long, an existing member of our Nominating and Governance Committee, as Chair of that Committee, effective at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
