<<Of Course General Patton said---One minute after H-Hour on D Day, you don't have a plan anymore---just have to see how things work out.>>

Quite.  Which boxer, (was it Mike Tyson?), who said something along the lines of ... "everybody has a plan until they get a punch in the face".  Presumably, most people, having suffered the trifling inconvenience of a punch in the face from Mike Tyson, would never recall their own name, let alone whether they ever had a plan or not.  

CORSA is special enough that it simply must succeed ... it has done so through crises before today, and by the wit of all those involved, it has survived.  Maybe some things have to change ... that is the case with most organisations .. but core functions should never be up for disposal.  Despite Mike Tyson's quip, true insofar as it goes, a plan is always a prerequisite. 

And, despite the somewhat grim tone of some of the comments from contributors here, sharp comment, provided it is constructive, is essential to enable close inspection of all aspects or an organisation's structure and operation.

If comments are not constructive, they shouldn't be made. It's as simple as that.  

I'd only add that, being a Brit, there appears precious little that I can do to assist CORSA month-on-month in any voluntary sense ... but if someone would entrust me with any chores which can be sent backward and forward by e-mail, in the form of clerking office work, I would be delighted to help.
