Absolutely. Ms. Radley is correct that there has not been a vascular surgeon on our medical advisory committee.
The recommendations for funding of research applications come through panels that are assembled for various competitions. In the context of the CCSVI competition, obviously that panel was assembled with the expertise that is relevant to that kind of research, and I note as well that we were the first to launch a competition.
Our sister organization, the American MS society, launched a similar competition, and we have assembled a joint panel, an international one that includes European expertise and expertise from both the U.S. and Canada. The experts that do the review are not applicants, so they're not conflicted.
