Yes, I am sorry, but I could only put into P5.1 the issues which seemed 
to have been resolved after Galway. I was hoping (like you) to see some 
of these other matters get resolved too, but discussion on this list 
just didn't seem to happen and we haven't had any council meetings since 
then (even by phone) to revive it.
