Listers, Catherine, Alex, Robert
Thank you for your questions. I did make this post on Friday and I had hoped
my team would have updated our website with the details. I have been
informed that this will be done today. There are 2 slide decks that will go
up today that will go into details on the issues raised.
I will respond in more detail later this afternoon and inform this list once
the site has been updated with the details
We do send out our updates to all the various lists to which we are
subscribed. We have our own that has close to 10,000 addresses on it. The
feedback we have is that the information we provide is highly appreciated.
regards
