Thanks for correcting me.
Re-reading the sentence I realize that it gives the impression of poor
management of the technical aspects of the testbed, which is of course not
true.

What is true, though, is that at the Berlin meeting a lot of people were
unhappy about the way things were going during the testbed.
Moreover, the problem in pointing out "some objective facts" has been
addressed in Berlin by Ken Stubbs - CORE Chairman - who said that he could
not indicate a lot of details because of the NDA. He also asked NSI to waive
the NDA so that he could speak up, but this was not done. There has been a
personal meeting between the two of you instead: I hope you had the things
straightened up.

BTW, I know that the complaints Ken and Richard Lindsay (among others) made
were real, as at that time I was a member of CORE and participated to the
testbed.
