Josip, Thanks for the quick response.
It isn't acceptable that a necessary team member be some anonymous person to be named later. I understand you have your procedures for doing things, but if you can't accomodate my procedures I'm not motivated to proceed. My procedure is to put a team in place with clear responsibilities and establish a schedule that everyone on the team agrees with. And, I only deal with principals. Are you sure you want a patch?
