No mention of the other items you note, but then again I did not ask those specific questions. I simply emailed the contact mentioned at the bottom of the article as was posted on I-hub. A quick response was forthcoming.

Hopefully ``our side`` will weigh in soon. I doubt that our guys are sitting on their thumbs right now, so I can handle the wait --- hey it`s only been 6 years for me.

All the best. MW
