It hasn't changed my desire to punt the current board: Askin, Faull Dunmore, Whittle and Ezholz.
They simply don't deserve to spend another day sucking on the shareholder funded teat of CTP, given their performance.
Ezholz can go back and concentrate on what we're paying him for as company secretary.
That leaves us with Cottee, Herrington, Gasteen, Cockcroft, Goodall Phylis and Heugh to choose from to fill the director's spots.
I've an open mind about Cottee Herrington and Gasteen, but I'd want to research each of them more throughly before coming to a view.
There is scant information about Gasteen on the net. Cottee has shut down his blog and removed Gasteen's profile. The only information I could find on Gasteen does not indicate any oil or gas experience:
