Steve,

You are right it is a question for Neil Robertson, but sadly he never even answers my emails. I have warned for a long time that the Pubco's would be the downfall of the BII if the Executive didn't put distance between us and them. Sadly as with so many other things within this Industry little notice is taken of those who are not 'entrapped' within the 'Power Cell'. I genuinely believed when John McNamara left that the Institute could focus on it's members wishes but it seems far from this the new Executive are playing fast and loose.
