8. 19.01.200699th session of the JINR Scientific Council8 PAC for Nuclear Physics Proposal of the JINR Directorate: To appoint Professor N. Janeva (Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy, Sofia, Bulgaria) as Chairperson of the PAC for Nuclear Physics for a term of one year. To thank Professor N. Rowley for his very successful work as Chairperson of the PAC for Nuclear Physics. To appoint Professor W. Greiner (IAS, Frankfurt, Germany) as a new member of the PAC for Nuclear Physics for a term of three years.

9. 19.01.200699th session of the JINR Scientific Council9 Announcement of vacancies According to the Institute’s regulation, the JINR Directorate announces vacancies of the Directors of the Veksler-Baldin Laboratory of High Energies, Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Laboratory of Particle Physics and of the Laboratory of Radiation Biology. It is supposed that the election for these positions will take place at the 101st session of the Scientific Council in January 2007. The JINR Directorate also proposes to postpone the election of the Directors of the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and of the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics also until the 101st session of the Scientific Council. Earlier it was planned to have this election at the 100th session in June this year, but as you know this session will be held on the 27th of March on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of JINR. Its agenda will be of a festive nature and will be shorter than usual, so we think it will be reasonable to postpone the election of the directors of these two laboratories until the 101st session in January 2007.
