Hi Heather,<br>
<br>
And I forgot to add an email question asked by you before the
community deadline. Apologies and I have added that now. My
preference is to prioritise specific individually-asked questions
asked over questions from previous years. I hope that closes the
issue for this year. Looking ahead, we are now in our third year of
this question process. Taking a step back, there is obviously a set
of important stock questions emerging. I or my successor need to pay
more attention to that.<br>
<br>

<div>Micheal, thanks again for your leadership. The questions
and answers are indeed arduous processes. As is coordinating.
Thank you again. <br>
</div>

</div>
<div>However, I am disappointed that there are no specific
official questions on gender and diversity. While people are
busy, I hope that you will consider answering these. <br>

I have tried to make the task of answering the questions
shorter than <br>
last year as two candidates reported what I felt to be
excessive time. I <br>
don't think there will be any contentious omissions or
editting this <br>
year as I was able to include everyone's questions plus some
general <br>
"About you" questions from last year. However, as always, I am
very <br>
happy enter into any dialogue, public or private.<br>
<br>
I have one due diligence issue. Can anyone confirm the legal
situation <br>
in this question? Just checking:<br>
