Before being a board member, I am a citizen. And as such I have been 
involved in issues, related to IG for quite a while.

I am sure that the future Board (I step down in two months) will be 
wise enough to put more checks and balances in the general picture. I 
just don't accept the negativism.

I am not dismissing what the IGP says. I am just asking that they 
"might have misinterpreted the wording of the JPA".

As for the opinions - when anyone enters a discussion with 
pre-defined opinion, there's no way to reach consensus. We can only 
work in that direction (reaching agreement) if we are asking questions.
