Most of the preparatory work is now done and as we are drafting a business plan to present to investors. I had a long discussion with our CEO this afternoon concerning how we move forward. The ball is now in our court and we have to decide exactly what kind of organisation we want to be in the long-term. What kind of capital we attract is dependent on how we want to implement change, whether we want to keep the not-for-profit business model or make profit, and if so when and how much. What about debt? And equity? These issues go to the heart of our long-term aims and activities, and whatever details we have not thought about in the past, we have to address now.
