Just to be clear, the Board are giving charity status
the highest priority-
you can take that as given. However, we're very concerned not to "show our
hand" by discussing those negotiations more widely. In that respect, the
lack of detail in public communications is a sign of how seriously we take
the issue.
I'm not sure I like the idea of viewing the charity application as
being adversarial. The CC aren't out to get us, they just need to be
helped to understand what we do and realise that it is charitable. We
should be being open with the CC, not trying to bluff them.
