Hi All,

Richard will be the (interim) chair at the next MPB meeting 2^nd Feb.

I have added an agenda item to AOB agenda item to  MPB Agenda 2026-02-02.docx to give input into what you see the role of the chair to be.

Also, with the move to SC where budget holder means something different, from conversation from Hannah she may not event be a budget holder in SC context. For this reason I have updated the ToR accordingly MantidProgrammeBoard.docx.

Best,

Anders
