Greg Donovan, the Secretariat's long-standing Head of Science, has moved into the role of Secretariat Scientist Emeritus. This one-year post has been created primarily to provide the space and time for Greg to complete several legacy papers related to the Revised Management Procedure and Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling Management. He will also assist Iain as necessary during the year. Greg will be working for the Secretariat for the equivalent of two days each week. In his own time, he will work as a Scientific Committee Invited Participant and Convenor of the Sub-Committee on Implementation Simulation Trials. Greg has provided the IWC, and especially the Scientific Committee, with advice and support for 43 years. The Committee will not be surprised to hear that he remains as committed as ever.
