In fairness, I admire the skill of those who put the notes together. Having been around a while, I do read between them. I do not mean this in a bad way. Basically, the competition was run in late 2022 and a letter of acceptance issued. This is done. There are the pre-contract signing negotiations, which happen normally in situations like this. I give it six months from now, potentially.
