I guess we have all been busy. I'll study them over the weekend
and provide feedback. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Not really, but I will not permit that Simon puts in valuable
time to work on temporary solutions that will not survive in
the end.

Perhaps we are too fixated on the November 1 deadline? It will
be an ongoing competition after all, with certain fixed moments
for reporting purposes. Missing the first deadline shouldn't be
viewed as a disaster.

Cheers,
