I want to go back to the issue that we were talking about with funding. There will be funding available? I suspect I could almost answer my question because I will get told 'the contingency fund', but what are the processes that you have agreed with the community will be funded in terms of sitting fees, operational fees, secretariat—this is obviously going to be a very sensitive issue, so there is going to have to be due process around this community body. What are the processes that you have been discussing and that you have established to ensure those due processes when dealing with very personal information and the direct impacts on people's lives? What funding has been made available, and what other things would be funded through this community body?
