Hi Kenneth,

These are exactly the issues we are tackling, being very careful to not make any announcement as the efforts needed to reboot and find new partners. This is happening. We will make public announcement as soon as possible.

The organizers have been very responsive to requests for information - but for every 1 person who sends an e-mail saying “what’s happening”, there are at least 10 who just go off to find something else to do.
