I want to come back to the composition of the board. We have heard from all the affiliates and we have spoken to many people across the industry. It is fair to say that nobody within the industry is happy with the proposed composition off the board. Notwithstanding what Mr. Duggan said about discussions with the affiliates, is HSI going to persist with its plans for the board or will it revert to the old system where the board members were selected from the advisory councils? I ask this question given the opposition to what is planned and given HSI's dependence on these affiliate bodies.
