In sailing terms I would say we are going round the same old bouys here.

The pros and cons of the MS8 and Pelligrino issues have been well reheresed before ad nauseum. We all wish these would be reported immediately but we cannot always have what we wish for.

We have to understand that once potential partners and NDA are involved management will have their hands tied to an extent. Plus at this point in time we are not actually beyond the outer limits of the time frames set. Additionally from our past experience we must note that there is usually a lag between date due and publication.

I don't understand the actual reasons why delays have occured in the past, they were never explained, but I know proffesionally, in project management terms, that the validation and approval processes before sign off of an end of stage, possibly by commitee, are essential to a well managed project and not necesarily easily achieved adminstratively especially where disparate parties are involved.

To subdue the very natural felling of impatience one has to empathise with the enormity of managments' schedule of tasks . I have so often observed that only the those unburdened by the pressure ofsuch tasks have the time to complain. Why not instead assume they, the management, are doing a great job for us all to benefit significantly financially from their hard efforts.

I commend our management.
