I agree with Gretchen on the definition of independence. We have to stop at some point. The majority of it has been defined by money exchanging hands between one organization and another, and there are ample examples. It's the same for the Supreme Court and it's the same for the financial audit of any organization that has been paid, from KPMG to Deloitte, that comes there independently.
I think in our case, we believe that professionalism and integrity are more important than subject matter expertise. My suggestion always was, and still is, to create an audit mechanism by the government, a regulatory mechanism like in any other industry, that will come to an organization like ours and many others to see if we are doing our job right.
