As I said I asked the question why should ncph appoint anyone at all and I
didn't get an engaging answer.  And I promise George will give you the same
answer if you don't re formulate.

What is the underlying reason we are asking this? Do we want more
collaboration with our board member? Do we want all the board members to
understand our perspective? Do we want to raise issues through our board
member and for the issues to be put forward by our board member to the rest
of the board?
