  Hi Jack, the process for selecting community directors was decided over the course of workshop time with the DHB and the community's elected representatives, port user group and port community forum plus the Local Enterprise Partnership.
  
  The funds raised from the purchase of membership shares that has not been used to promote the aims and objectives or to carry out the legal obligations of the DPPT are still in the bank. Each membership share certificate clearly indicates what will happen to any monies left over in the event that DPPT do not become owners of the port on behalf of the community and, with an AGM on the cards in the near future, this subject will be discussed by the membership then.
  
  The Government decided not to sell the port to anyone and instead chose to embark on a different process towards change. Part of that process is the appointment of community non-execs and this part is going on right now. As per my opening sentence, the way in which community non-execs would be selected and appointed was thrashed out during meetings between the DHB and our elected local representatives, observed by officials of the Department for Transport. This means that a direct election of community director will not take place.
