at no time has ICANN ever clained that directors did not have full access;

Mr. Prosser said, "You were quite entitled to make any suggestions or protests
at the appropriate time, you know."

"Appropriate time?" hooted Arthur. "Appropriate time?" The first I knew about
it was when a workman arrived at my home yesterday. I asked him if he'd come to
clean the windows and he said no, he'd come to demolish the house. He didn't
tell me straight away of course. Oh no. First he wiped a couple of windows and
charged me a fiver. Then he told me."

"But Mr. Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for
the last nine months."

"Oh yes, well, as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday
afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them,
had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."

"But the plans were on display..."

"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

"That's the display department."

"With a flashlight."

"Ah, well, the lights had probably gone."

"So had the stairs."

"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"

"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked
filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying
'Beware of the Leopard.' "
