I sense a thoughtful response to this a few days ago - but it hasn't turned up. With respect to the various responses to my post - they have mostly been about me and not about the points I made. Which is a shame and of little real value to an important issue. Broadly my earlier response pointed out that having the CEO, Chairman and GAC chair pick panellists and then put them out for public review was actually a pretty good system. Certainly better than alternatives - which, tellingly, people haven't provided. Kieren
