I could not help but notice the name of the current presiding Judge John D. Bates not included in the list. This link to the FISC Court rules names Judge Bates on the Cover: http://www.uscourts.gov/uscourts/rules/FISC2010.pdf

Judge Bates was originally nominated to the bench by GW Bush and obviously appointed to FISC by Chief Justice Roberts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Bates)

According to the Wikipedia page, his term expired in February of this year.

Where abouts? I am not seeing that.

I see Chief Justice Robert's appointed Judge Bates, effective July 1, 2013, Director of the Administrative Offices of the United States Court. However, that occurred June 11, 2013 and presumably he will continue to be the presiding Judge of FISC until that time.
