So, the work so far and hopefully goes on to me writing a white paper ...

Fact this isnt clear and this isnt clear so when are you going to do something about it . We just did. With all due respect commissioner keane this discussion has been going on for five years, the discussion on who is gets included on the complaint. I did that and i had the task force take that off.
