Also, Stpehen, your point doesn't hold much water. :) The Board is made up of volunteers, meaning, unlike the office staff, they are for much of the weekend as well. :)

Actually... it is worse than that. Thursday was a day off in France (ascension). Friday was a day where my husband did not work and my kids are not in school. So, I did not do much because everyone is at home and expecting me to cook, clean, play with them and so on.

But I did answer to Anthony, but once again, as about 1 email amongst 10, my email did not make it to the Foundation list. I usually check within 5 mn if they appear on the list, but in this case, I forgot. I forwarded my answer, plus more details in another email. I sent 3 emails, only 2 got through.

And to Anthony, yes, I do believe I said something about this being an area of expertise for the COO.

Frankly I have no idea why this would be kept such a secret.

Noone from the Foundation has replied yet, probably because it's the weekend. Perhaps everyone should just wait until they do instead of arguing in circles with each other.

Ant posted two messages to this list after I asked the question.

However, Erik has now answered it to some extent (idea came from Carolyn, board apparently informally agreed with it).
