I think it facilitates discussion, you disagree, that's up to you, but I 
think the reactions of the list so far suggest that it does. Anyway, I 
merely suggested it would help, I didn't request any information.

And as I mentioned the community have asked for a more detailed response 
from the NCC and I'm hoping to have timelines for this soon. This 
request came directly from conversation on this list.

I and the NCC will be reporting back to this list and possibly the NCC 
Services list. We won't be updating any forms on your website and that 
would be not only impractical but also not work I'm willing to 
undertake. My and Tobias' responsibility is to this group, not a random 
website.
