Could you please explain in what way the addition of a single person to the existing team (Phil already was DSA, even if not yet in the adm group) is going to resolve all the huge and structural communication problems between team members that we have heard about? Are there any other changes that have been agreed to by existing members to address those issues, or will we now just have a larger team with structural communication problems? Your announcement is nice, and I'm sure it took a lot of hard work to get this far, but I have serious doubts that it is enough. Some elaboration on the way forward, including a word on that other team that is always the subject of controversy and complaints, would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Frans Pop
