Ah yes. But all this has happened before, at some point in the future: "But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine month." "Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything." "But the plans were on display ..." "On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them." "That's the display department." "With a torch." "Ah, well the lights had probably gone." "So had the stairs." "But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

From 'Friends' - Season 9, Ep. 913 Dear Vickram, Both the notices -- to those who have signed GOPA and to Letter of Indent (well, that's what it says) holders -- are available on the Ministry's website. Do you not look there? http://mib.nic.in/writereaddata/html_en_files/crs/crs_notice1.pdf http://mib.nic.in/writereaddata/html_en_files/crs/crs_notice2.pdf Sajan The good news was those that responded anyway were invited to the consultation, the bad news being that the consultation was a washout, if the current policy is any indication. > >Vickram >http://communicall.wordpress.com >http://vvcrishna.wordpress.com > > > >> >>From: Dr Richie Rego SJ <[email protected]> >>To: Vickram Crishna <[email protected]>; Sajan Venniyoor CR Forum >><[email protected]>; "Ram Bhat, CR" <[email protected]> >>Cc: CR Forum <[email protected]> >>Sent: Mon, 28 June, 2010 14:24:16 >> >>Subject: Re: [cr-india] I&B seeks status info from community radio applicants >> >> >> >>Dear Sajan, Vickram, & Ram, >>It is interesting to know how these I&B letters are circulated.
