UK actuarial leaders: where do you stand on the key issue of communications to members and the public?

I have just made this post on the Actuarial Outpost, calling for clarification of what seems to have been the biggest source of strife within the UK actuarial profession over the last 19 months:

What general principles should members of Institute and Faculty Council, and senior staff, follow with regard to communicating with their members and the public?  Until now, the views of many Council members on this have been unknown, and besides, views may have changed in the light of the experience of recent months.  What is clear is that it is time to clarify where individual Council members stand, and to debate the issues so that we can move on, ideally with a consensus on what the appropriate philosophy should be with regard to communications from the leadership.
