What steps are going to be taken, and who is going to be taking the lead, in getting a real buy-in from the private sector? Ultimately we have got quite a lot of people from the public sector, distinguished people on the Board, but it is the private sector that ultimately will deliver this.

Thank you; that is helpful. You highlight the importance of the project delivery there. Which of the members of your Board will be taking responsibility, apart from yourself, for project management issues?

Of those cities, which have put some of the cost on the local taxation, was it restricted to residents of the host city or the whole country?
