It doesn't take two working days to prepare a short response saying that the charity is now reviewing the report. In fact, that could have been prepared in advance, since it is the same regardless of the contents. It is extremely premature to be commenting on the contents to the press before we've had any discussion about it.
Publish the report now. You've had plenty of time. You're supposed to be running an organisation that prides itself on being transparent. On Jan 31, 2013 11:15 AM, "Chris Keating" chriskeatingwiki@gmail.com wrote:

(not necessarily immediately) when we get it.
Why won't you publish it immeadiately?
So that we have a chance to prepare responses for any media inquiries that might result from it. As I say, we will be prompt about it, and I also want to make sure there is a chance for the community to review the findings before our board meeting on the 9th. Someone from Compass Partnership will be attending that meeting, so if there are any questions or clarifications from the community, we can ask them then.
Hope this make sense,
Chris
