It’s gone OK. It’s not the main thing we’re working on. Mostly we’ve been working on research, forecasting, et cetera. But it does seem like there’s a decent amount of demand for better whistleblower protections. I think that people are starting to recognise that it’s like our last resort. Ideally you’d have regulation in place that would just require transparency about all the important things, but in the absence of such regulation, then you rely on people with good consciences in the companies speaking up. So then you want those people to be protected. And there’s been some progress in those regards, I think. Well, I think the end point that I would like to get to for whistleblower protections is something like every employee knows that they are legally within their rights to have private conversations with certain government agencies or watchdog agencies about what’s going on, in some secure channel or something like that. I don’t think we have anything like that yet. Partly, I think there’s just an awareness thing where you actually do have legal rights to talk to Congress, for example. I’m not a lawyer, but my current understanding is that you actually are protected for certain types of disclosure.
