I have already stated that if I am ever speaking as a board member or  
on behalf of the board, that would be made perfectly clear. I am  
happy to repeat that.

Yes. I work as a freelance consultant. So I have plenty of practice  
at putting my personal and professional feelings to one side in order  
to act in the best interests of my clients. I use those skills on the  
boards that I serve. From that perspective, the NCC is just another  
client.

Can I suggest that if you want to continue this discussion, we do so  
in private? This is no longer appropriate for the list.
