Hi, there was a lot of traffic on the list the last days about status and if the preparations are going well.
I think one reason for the discussion is that there was no visible activity going on. Well, it is in parts related to the fact that I was off sick and not able to work at all. And so I couldn't communicate what was still going on here without me. I made a big mistake not to delegate and find someone else to do my jobs when I was ill and in hospitals. I honostly apologize for that. It looks like I can be ill and away again at any time. Now I made some preparations that there are people here to help out with my tasks - just in case. Audun, who works at CERN as well, can take care then and he already helps a lot. But not only in Geneva helping people are needed. I think Paul Everitt mentioned that he can take care of the PR. Paul - is it still true? We need a PR text for the registration opening. And maybe translations in different languages. Do you think you can find people helping you with that? For ep.org I have two points below which should be put there. David and Paul - do you can take care of this?
