The Chairperson states that Mr. Eisma raised four points including 'that apparently no activities were undertaken with regard to the natural environment ... that the living conditions aspect of the Foundation' s mandate was not receiving enough attention'. (p.5). The Board discuss these points with the Chairperson stressing that the Foundation cannot go very deeply into environmental research because of its limited capacity (p.6).
