Not true. It was the case with our earlier legal review which was  
welcomed and to which he responded and requested further comments.  
After a few months of no information from the board I emailed him  
again and requested a copy of the legal text. I got the following  
reply on the 8th Jan 09:

"Hi Peter,

"Thanks for your email.  I am working exclusively with Steve, Andy,  
and Richard on my contributions.  Any update will be available through  
them.

"~Jordan

If that is news to you as well Richard, then I am really confused.



Regards,



Peter
