It is still work that ought to be done sooner rather than later. And the =
header work should be done by someone from IBM. Who might that be?

Whoever it is should be doing it already. There is no excuse to delay.

I think that not clearing the Symphony grant might be a graduation =
problem for some on the IPMC. It will certainly be discussed.
