    Attached is a letter from Dr. Neil Branda requesting the dissolution of "Nanomed Canada Research
    Network", the network will be absorbed into the operations of 4D LABS.
    I recommend approval. Once approved by SCUP the request should be sent to Senate and the Board of
    Governors for information.

    Bigger ideas,workingtogether.
    Dear Mario:
    This letter is to dissolve the University Institute, Nanomed Canada Research Network.
    As we discussed, the Nanomed Canada Research Network (now called the NanoCommunity) has
    expanded its target group to include more than the original medical areas. This change was made
    due to the response from our network members who expressed their interest in having a network
    and on-line presence that represents the larger area of nanoscience. It is therefore, a good time for
    the operations of this institute to be absorbed into the operations of 4D LABS to guide its
    deployment and ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are central in this integrated plan.
    Because this institute is a virtual one with an on line presence, we believe the membership of the
    institute will be the same as that of 4D LABS. Ifyou require any additional information, please do
    not hesitate to contact me.
    Sincerely yours,
    Neil Branda
    Director, Nanomed Canada Research Network
