of work to make a forum happen.</p>
<p>Let me follow-up with two quick questions. Could you share the
source of the funds (was this PIR money?) and how much you paid?
Also who owns the report this group produced? These seem like
fair questions, but if there is a concern about transparency,
please let me know.</p>
