Thank you, Catherine, for that very generous introduction, and also for everything that you and the Society have done to support the two of us and the other Task Force members in preparing the report on which we have been working. Thanks also to Mark Agrast and to Wes Rist, and also to Sean Murphy, for their consistent and invaluable support; and, of course, thanks especially to the other Task Force members—Saira Mohammed, Alex Whiting, David Bosco, and Sandy Hodgkinson—and to our Project Director, Ben Batros, who has been just fabulous in all the work he has done over more than one year now in developing and producing this report.
