2. What characteristics do you see in the board of directors that lend themselves to a strong tone at the top and a culture that fully embraces risk management?

3. What is the linkage at JAA between the strategic objectives, context, stakeholders, and risk criteria? Support your comments with specific examples of the link in these four areas.
