How do these meetings happen?
Are questions asked and then Dalman answers the question and move straight to the next?

I ask because there seems no push back from those in attendance on some of his answers being totally different to even the things he said in last meeting.

Dalman was said to have said previously that we do not need a DOF with suggestions that he might have even got his back up at the suggestion that we needed one.
Now he seems to suggest he is in favour of wanting a DOF but those above do not.
What changed? That is quite some change of opinion from MD.

I'm not sure if people don't want to upset the apple cart, don't want to risk not being invited back to these meetings or whatever but that above is a glaring one and there are a few more.
Maybe a follow up meeting with questions from the members of the represented groups could be something that is suggested. As it is we won't know why he has changed his mind on this and won't for some time. That is if it is even discussed at the next one.
