, the SCERS Board/Staff will enter into a "quiet period", during which time no Board/Staff member may knowingly have any communication with any actual or potential candidate for these services, unless authorized by the Board in connection with the due diligence process in selecting a manager. The quiet period shall cease upon the Board's entering into a contract for the private equity program manager selected. By participating in this RFP you
