 Well, good morning everyone. I'll gavel to an open this 98th meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. I'm Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. I welcome all of you to this council meeting. I should immediately point out that this is the first time we're doing a council meeting in this exact format. Whereas we have all of our council members joining us virtually through Zoom, but we have many NHGRI staff here in our conference room in our normal location for council meetings. And this is a routine we're trying out where using the winter months of February, which sometimes is difficult travel because of weather, we'll not ask our council members to come in town and to do this virtually, but at the same time, gather here as an institute to be able to interact and help facilitate questions that come up. Unlike our other two council meetings each year in May and September, those will be fully in person with the ability to bring in council members that's needed by Zoom if they're unable to travel. So that's why there's some people here in the room, but council members by Zoom. So let me turn this over to our executive secretary, Rudy Pazzotti to make a few announcements. Thank you, Eric. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the open session of the February 2023 council meeting. I wanna remind everyone and council members that the open session is being live streamed can be viewed going to the NHGRI genome.gov website. We will also create an archive of this meeting. There are archive meetings going back to 2011, I believe. They'll be posted on the council webpage. Again, NHGRI genome.gov. We have one new staff member to introduce, and Renee, could you bring up the slide, please? I wanna introduce Maricela Trujillo. She originally is from New Mexico. She attended college at the University of Arizona. In 2013, she moved to Maryland and worked at NIH for seven years. She moved back to New Mexico a few years ago and worked as a budget analyst for the Department of Defense at the White Sands Missile Range. She'll be a grants management specialist here at NHGRI and will be working remotely. Welcome, Maricela. I'd like to acknowledge our council society, liaison members. Ellen Giurelli is from the International Society of Nursing, nurses in genetics. Mona Miller from the American Society of Human Genetics. Matthew Kaffit from the Genetic Alliance and Rhonda Schaunberg from the National Society of Genetic Counselors. I also wanna acknowledge Janelle Glover, seated at the far right side of the table. She's a program analyst at NHGRI and she is our note taker today and will be responsible for preparing the minutes from this meeting. I also wanna acknowledge Renee Ryder, program director at NHGRI. She is managing all of the slide presentations for today and tomorrow, which is probably the definition of herding cats. So thank you, Renee. Council members, I seek your approval of the minutes from the September 2022 meeting. Are there any edits or suggested changes to the minutes? All right, can I get a motion to approve the minutes? And a second, I'm going with hand waving here. All in favor? All right. Anyone opposed or wishing to abstain? Thank you very much. Let me, excuse me, draw your attention to the future council meetings for 2023 and 2024. They're listed on the open session agenda. If you discover any scheduled conflicts, please let me know and more importantly, Comfort Brown. As of this time, we're planning for the May and September meetings to be live and we'll be in touch if there's any reason to change or reconsider those decisions. Now I'm going to yield the floor to Eric for the directors for the board. Okay.
