What I am hearing from members is a suggestion that the board of MARA will have some role in adjudicating on applications. It will not. This is the key point. The board is a structure to hold the entity to account and to ensure that the CEO is undertaking his duties properly, etc. Regarding consent for individual applications, however, the board has no role in that context. That is the clear point that we need to make.
