Hi Floris, Just my thought on that - if you recall I mentioned that it was time to let the Apache folks see the proposal and make sure it fits into the framework here also - it is a two way street..if I understand what is being said it is merely that this is something not seen before and will naturally, IMO, get a review from a broader group then just the PPMC. and now I see that Ross G. has stated pretty much exactly that. So, just my .02 worth - it doesn't appear to be anything beyond what one should expect at this point and I would strongly advise not to jump to any conclusions. Best wishes, //drew
