Just to be clear, the Board are giving charity status the highest priority- you can take that as given. However, we're very concerned not to "show our hand" by discussing those negotiations more widely. In that respect, the lack of detail in public communications is a sign of how seriously we take the issue.
I'm not sure I like the idea of viewing the charity application as being adversarial. The CC aren't out to get us, they just need to be helped to understand what we do and realise that it is charitable. We should be being open with the CC, not trying to bluff them.
