Mr. Cook is the chairman of the committee. The committee met five times during 2007.

The committee considers nominee recommendations from a variety of sources, including nominees recommended by stockholders. The committee has from time to time retained an executive search firm to help facilitate the screening and interview process of director nominees. The committee has not established specific minimum age, education, experience, or skill requirements for potential members, but, in general, expects that qualified candidates will have high-level managerial experience in a complex organization and will be able to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole rather than special interest

The committee considers each candidate’s integrity, judgment, skill, diversity of background, and time available to devote to Board activities. The committee will also consider the interplay of a candidate’s skill and experience with that of other Board members, and the extent to which a candidate may be a desirable addition to any committee of the Board.
