CWB Name Your Sources Challenge

[Fransisco]

Charlie if someone gave you heck, then it was definitely a relevant question.

Hey they put the number out there, they should be able to back it up with a source and the proper context.

Maybe the number is real but only when taken in a very specific context. One that is different than the board is using. It wouldn't be the first time.

Maybe I should shake everyone up and ask how the targets are calculated on page 40 of the annual report. Are they done externally (Richard Gray)? Is it an internal measure? What due dilegence is done on the process/number? Is it only comparing prices on the day sales are made? Is timing of sales included? Is the $6 to $9/tonne premium shown for the CWB system offset by the costs of the CWB system to that manager?

I note most businesses (including government) have performance measures. A key element is they are understood internally by staff, among stakeholders and by business partners. A key part is to understand the process of how developed and from there, the ability to varify by outside sources.

charliep, you ought to know!

During coffe break, the CWB marketing department each get a daisy, and as they pull off each petal, it goes like this:

We love farmers
We love them not

Been having bad plucking luck.
