Phil et la, I know we are all busy until the iso drops. I have spoken 
with Phil about this and agreed to have a post-analysis session in which 
we can plan for this to be better communicated in the future. It's been 
on my radar for some time, and I've made some improvements including 
getting the notice board utilized (I hope you noticed? :-) ). However, I 
spoke with Kate earlier this week about what we can do to communicate 
better. If it helps, I too feel in the dark on some issues, and we need 
to continue working on it until it's fixed. I know all of you will do 
your best to test despite these adversities and I thank you for it. 
We'll plan on all having a thinking session on this issue (and any other 
issues you are encountering) after the iso drops this Thursday. Sounds 
like a plan?

Thanks,

Nicholas
