Perhaps to make progress, work towards a distilled list of questions
(including those that have not been answered) could be generated.
Answering many of the questions asked could be helpful in determining next
steps and a way forward.  I am not volunteering to generate that list, but
I would appreciate an organized review with lessons learned as processes
are possibly redesigned.

Best regards,
Kathleen
