We have been assured that NSF remains committed to building and operating NEON, using the best available science, while ensuring no further re-scoping is necessary. The NEON, Inc Board of Directors and staff are committed to working with the NSF to support successful transition to new management. As a partner and stakeholder in the development and success of NEON, you are likely to have many questions on timing, logistics and process. In the coming days and weeks, updates will be shared, as they are available. In the meantime, we welcome your questions, thoughts and input. During this transition period, our staff remains committed to the work of building, commissioning and operating NEON. Moving forward, our priorities are ensuring a smooth, seamless and efficient transition to a new management organization and working collaboratively with the scientific community. Sincerely, Gene Kelly Visiting Head Scientist & Interim CEO of NEON Inc.
