**Good afternoon**

We received two nominations to fill the Network’s vacant space on Scotland’s OGP Steering Group. Having received confirmation that one of the nominees would like to withdraw from the process, Benjamin McElwee (Health and Social Care Policy and Practice Officer with See Me Scotland) is automatically selected for the vacancy on the Steering Group without the need for an election (see [terms of reference](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q4PNAFwFSR6mtnkWXcT_vPZ-L7ZMSyBhwKME3pDTlr8/edit?usp=sharing)).
