Who is the McCann Fund administrator?

According to the official website home page 'an experienced Fund Administrator has been appointed to ensure the highest standards of transparency and accountability. This should enable the directors to maintain an appropriate governance distance in the day to day operations of the Fund.'

Now who is the Fund Administrator and how was he/she recruited?

Isn't it odd that the name of this person is not on the website with a phone number and email so he/she can be contacted by anyone interested in the Fund? it is usual for website whether of ordinary businesses or of NGOs and charities to contain the names of key official to facilitate those who might wish the contact the company.

In his blog 3 November 2010 Gerry McCann says that donations to the Fund have enabled (obviously apart from other matters) the appointment of a part-time campaign co-ordinator. Now is that the same as the Fund Administrator? Again this person is not named.

It was widely reported in May 2007 that John McCann gave up his full-time job to work on the Campaign. Could he be the Fund Administrator? But he was one of the first directors so that would not sit with the website claim that the appointment of the Fund Administrator is about proper governance; to keep the directors from the day to day activities.

Now the Fund Administrator was supposed to ensure transparency and accountability. He/she does not appear to have achieved that. We do not even know his/her name and we do not know what the money was spent on as the accounts in the companies office merely comply with company law which means expenditure information is minimal. There is no financial information on the website. What is this person actually doing and where is he/she physically based?

What did John McCann do for the Fund and how was he paid? What is he doing now?

An interesting posting from Pauline and I hope that someone will be able to provide more information. Perish the thought that Team McCann has anything whatsoever to hide in relation to the running of the Fund!
