I thank Mr. Doherty for being here. Before I begin my questions I must mention the founder, ultimately, and the thousands of people who have used or would have used the services. The founder has had his name absolutely dragged through the dirt in what has unfolded in recent years. I have no reason to doubt any of Mr. Doherty's contribution. If a fraction of his contribution is accurate, what we have here is a scandal that is generational in terms of mis-expenditure. I want to take the opportunity to thank Mr. Doherty for that contribution this morning.

Mr. Doherty said the senior management team never met prior to him becoming CEO. Was Mr. Doherty senior management before he became CEO?
