The resources that IRIS represents are essential to seismology in the U.S. and worldwide; they certainly have been essential to my career. These resources include tangibles such as instrumentation, data, cyberinfrainstructure, and people, but also the IRIS culture of open access to data, global collaboration and leadership, and forward-looking governance by the scientific community. As we plan for the future of IRIS and the 2018 recompetition, we must maintain these strengths for the next generation of seismologists, while fostering innovation in seismological research and how it connects to the broader world. I would be honored to be part of this effort.
