At its January meeting, the USENIX Board of Directors
authorized funds for this year for an Institutional Representative to 
the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Operating Systems.    
It then appointed a search committee to fill this position.

this position has been offered to Peter Collinson, of Hillside
systems, Kent, UK, and he has accepted.
