I am really grateful for the huge response to my note about the Board’s proposals for applying for a Royal Charter. Thank you to everyone who replied, either with a comment on the website or, by far the larger number, by means of the ‘Reply’ button on my note.
With nearly 200 responses so far and doubtless more to come, I hope you will forgive me if I do not reply to everyone individually. But I can assure you every response has been read, analysed and recorded.
As at Friday 22nd June, 94.7% of all respondents were supportive of the Board’s proposals in their entirety. Of the remaining 5.3%, the greatest point of contention, as we imagined it would be, was the proposal for a name change. Perhaps it would be helpful if I listed the questions, reservations or protestations which occurred most frequently, together with my response to them.
