That was my intention, too. I think the NM pages should be clearer about what NM-applicants should package and that there should be guide lines about which packages can be sponsored and that other packages should be postponed in favour of say the ones listed on the RFP pages. I believe that more applicants could be sponsored by following such guide lines. Joerg -- Joerg "joergland" Wendland GPG: 51CF8417 FP: 79C0 7671 AFC7 315E 657A F318 57A3 7FBD 51CF 8417
