Ok, let's all please take a step back, and calm down a little.

We have a proposed path forward, but are waiting he hear back from our ADs
(Benoit is on travel, and it is a vacation for many in the US) to get their

We'll be the first to admit that we've done a less than stellar job here -
there have been many reasons for this (including including travel, bringing
on a new chair, Chinese New Year (and other vacations), etc), but we are
trying to untangle ourselves - please hang in there for a bit longer...
