    My list of the Ombuds who retired in 2018 includes: Wilfred F. Gunsteren (ETH Zurich);
    Susan Johnson (University of Iowa); Maryvonne Landolt (ETH Zurich); Nikolai Pankratiev (Mars Inc.); David Rasch (Stanford University) [although he later to a part-time contract position at UC Santa Barbara]; and Tom Ward (Clemson University). Of course, Ombuds who retired before 2018 are also eligible.
