All,
The AG has made a decision on some reappointments and some new appointments to fill
vacancies on the AAT (see attached).
Could we all please discuss the appointments at some stage over the phone? s 22(1)
(copied)
will set up a quick teleconference this morning. Perhaps at 1130am if that works for everyone.
Kind regards,

Attached is a spreadsheet of the appointments/reappointments we wish to proceed with
straight away. Ignore the highlighting.

 If your team could start processing these, that
would be terrific.  It is likely that another couple of names will come to you tomorrow morning.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Dear 
Please find list of contact details attached. There are a couple missing, but it should be plenty to
get on with for the moment. I will get the other details to you as soon as I can.
Needless to say, all of the candidates should be called, irrespective of whether their email
address has also been provided. The urgency of the matter should be stressed to all of them, if
they are interested in taking the job.
All the best,
