Sure, thanks.  I just thought they both spoke to the same point about GAC advice, the relative autonomy of the board, and the benefits of a model in which the ultimate 'oversight' decision making authority is not necessarily vested in governments, which from time to time actually don't make optimal decisions.  Plus, I just really like the EC quotes in the trademark exchange ;-)

See you tomorrow in parliament,
