The disagreement - and it is not a hostile disagreement - and the difference lie in how we get to what is a shared, common goal in this regard. It would be more courageous if we were to decide to make it mandatory because, in many instances, the problem is not the original mistake but, rather, what the organisation does after that original mistake. It creates a climate that is not suitable or amenable to getting to the point where a mistake is acknowledged. To do that we must make it mandatory. There is nothing in this of which to be fearful. We will press the amendment and move on before the Chairman kills us.
