<p>I don't want background. I want you to publish the report now. You don't need any more response than "we're looking at it and are beginning discussions with the community, we'll have a fuller response in a few weeks". You could have written that months ago.</p>
<p>Last time you used the "we need to prepare a response" excuse to delay publishing something you ended up publishing it without any response anyway and nothing bad happened, so your good faith is very much in doubt.</p>

Tom, It might be sensible to check with us directly before posting. We <b><i>have</i></b> been preparing but need to get a lot of consensus even for a 'short response'. I think your email was unfair to Chris and a little rude. Please assume good faith.<br>

<p>Publish the report now. You've had plenty of time. You're supposed to be running an organisation that prides itself on being transparent.</p>

</div>Why won't you publish it immeadiately?<br>
<div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So that we have a chance to prepare responses for any media inquiries that might result from it. As I say, we will be prompt about it, and I also want to make sure there is a chance for the community to review the findings before our board meeting on the 9th. Someone from Compass Partnership will be attending that meeting, so if there are any questions or clarifications from the community, we can ask them then.</div>
