Galleries that are watching their behavior adequately, they stay on even long after theyve become ineffective and not noteworthy to the court anymore. There are all these dangers of how you keep that focus and how you keep that task properly done. Make the case for why you all should be the oversight in the context of those dangers. I think we have not suggested that we should be the oversight for the because i know some have suggested that we be the body to appoint the members, a pool of special advocates or appoint a special advocate.
