Conclusion
US DARPA and its ‘clones’ have shown the advantages of having a small, lean organisation with limited bureaucracy. Nevertheless, we think that the ultimate form and structure of the organisation should be shaped by and evolve with its appointed director.

Recommendations 10 (Paragraph 77), 12 (Paragraph 84), and 14 (Paragraph 87) relate to the choice of, and responsibility imbued upon, ARIA’s senior leadership. We agree that the unique autonomy granted by the ARIA model makes it all the more important to have the right leader. We are soon to launch the open and fair recruitment processes for ARIA’s first Chair and CEO, and we will be reaching out across the international science and technology community in search of candidates with the right skills, experience, and vision for ARIA.
