What would happen if the external taskforce came up with a recommendation that was different to that, and suggested that, rather than broadening, you need to replace? Would you accept that?

The terms of reference, the process, the length of time—all the questions I've asked. When is all of this going to be fully tied down?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
Okay. And just my last question would be: when will we get full details of all of this in writing, all tied down? When can we expect to see that?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
Okay. What kind of stakeholders do you think should be involved in this, in giving evidence?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru

Okay. And are there any non-disclosure agreements involved in any of this, or are you happy that everyone involved is willing to take part?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
What about witnesses who wish to give evidence privately? That will be facilitated. And also those witnesses who wish to be on the record, will that also be facilitated?

And you've expressed to them that 10 or 12 months would be an unacceptable length of time.

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
Okay. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to take action, so can you give us an idea of how long—? Well, how long do you think it should take?

And there's going to be a lot of interest as the panel progresses before we come to the outcome. Will they be able to call witnesses, and will they hold evidence sessions? Is that the idea?

Three or four people. Okay. So, let's look at the terms of reference. How were they arrived at? Was it something that you suggested to Sport Resolutions, or did Sport Resolutions say to you, 'This is the kind of thing you should be investigating?' How did you…

A London-based arbitration service. And I imagine they've done work with other bodies before.

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
So, Sport Resolution, where is that based? Is that a UK-based arbitration service?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
Are they connected with the WRU in any way?

Cyhuddiadau yn ymwneud ag Undeb Rygbi Cymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Undeb Rygbi Cymru
Okay. I'll come to the terms of reference in a second. I noticed Tonia Antoniazzi MP said that she'd like someone outside of Wales to chair, and she's had involvement with the WRU and as a player. Someone outside of Wales to chair it—is that going to happen?
