Hoi,
I have again looked at the website, it gives me a chaotic impression. I 
have looked at the presentation it is OK, however I am sure that we have 
people of an equal calibre in our own ranks. My idea of an advisory 
board is that they have to bring something extra, something fresh. I 
fail to see what the extra is. To be blunt, to me is seems like a "blast 
from the past" while we need to see into a future and reach out.
Thanks,
    GerardM
