Obviously, this is very much a matter of concern to me. I came here saying the problem is that there's a dispute about the independence of the board from the staff. The board has to assert itself.
I proposed a number of resolutions dealing with this issue. Of course, there's the Middle East one that we've talked about, but I also presented a resolution affirming the role of the board in controlling and managing the organization. We have cut out the discretionary funding, the urgent action opportunity. The president basically said the funding has to come through the board. We closed down the Geneva office, which we felt was operating without proper controls. We will continue to do a number of activities that will assert the control of the board over the direction of the institution.
Another one that occurs to me is the block granting to the Congo, which was originally proposed for three years. We're looking at it year by year, instead of all three years at once.
I accept your invitation. I'll work with the others to propose a plan that will show how we are trying to develop more complete control over the organization.
