That would be better from the Department's point of view, in the interests of transparency, in terms of protocol, in case anyone sought to influence the board. As of now some people might know that there are people on the board but the public does not know, whereas if there is a protocol in place whereby it is public, known and there are rules around making any contact with individual members for that reason, and to exclude them from potential applications, they would understand the process clearly. That is just a suggestion.
