Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. What I meant was that we're obviously
going to say something officially about the process, and part of that
announcement is going to include some certain specifics on part of the
brokenness.

Well, that's what I'm hoping will happen - that's why I've asked that we
delay talking about specifics of any new process on this list until the
others get back and we actually finish off this one.

Well, the process shouldn't be in the hands of the committee, so I'm hoping
we don't have the opportunity to make the same mistakes again.
