Hi Lars,
I am not making insinuations. I try my best in all my emails to avoid style
figures that may create misunderstandings, especially that I am not a native
English speaker.
I am just pointing out that the situation is blocked if driver A wants no
changes before declaring the DEP accepted, and driver B wants some changes
before the DEP is accepted. I think that we need to discuss this frankly.
I am all for either marking the DEP accepted, or making a new round of
modifications, but sorry for pointing finger, I think that we waited enough for
Steve's input. It is for sure valuable, but his latest email in this thread
shows that it is not ready. I have seen many projects sunk by trying to
involve skilled people who unfortunately do not have time, and I have the
impression that this DEP has this problem.
Have a nice day,
