    Thanks again for the additional information.
    
    I'm sure that you face many challenges, given that this project is
    dependent upon so many vagaries, and upon the active cooperation
    of so many individuals and companies.  But it is my sincere hope that
    this can be made to take less than 6 months.
    
    It seems that there are really two parts here, i.e. (1) identifying all
    of the broken contact addresses and then (b) attempting to get as many
    of those fixed as possible.  The latter part may last indefinitely.
    The former however should be amenable to completion on a very short
    time scale.
    
    I would encourage you to seek to find out what is broken, as expeditiously
    as possible, and to then publish those findings for all to see.  Such
    publication could have multiple useful knock-on effects.
