It is not one or the other.  Olav has been making great efforts.  It would
be great if the board could come out with some kind of endorsement too, it
need not be a commandment issued from on high, it could be even something
as simple as "the board approves this message".

There are various ways we can tackle the problem and I think even a
gesture from the board would be good too.
