I understand that you want a platform for Bermuda by Bermuda - but why not when you released your big announcement and website lauch yesterday did you not include a series of dates for open discussion and your intentions to form your platfrom based on these discussions? Now BDA will have to try to re-gain the public attention and have to advertise these discussion forums to the general public to get the word around when you had everyone&#39;s attention yesterday. This is where I again have to agree with Denis with lack of preparedness.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing what BDA comes out with in future, but am hoping to see a little more structure and clear vision. </p> <p>Sean,</p> <p>I would have to agree with Denis on this one.
