The National Trust model in the U.K. is basically a separate operating agency that has the capacity to fundraise. We have not looked at it in a significant way, to my knowledge. I haven't been informed of that kind of consideration by TBS to date. Parks Canada has looked at our colleague conservation organizations around the world. There are other models as well. While I agree that the National Trust is a compelling model, it too faces some challenges in that its iconic properties tend to draw a significant investment, but some of the lesser properties struggle under the model.
