After three months: Submit Appointment of Supervisory Committee form

The resident Associate Deans here have a practice of initialing the CV's of the faculty members or committee members they have approved to sit on committees. To be consistent, I wonder if you could implement this in the departments in Medicine? We would be looking for a signature on the form and just Fran's initial on the actual CV.
