Dear MFAT

We utilised the FYI site so that the responses are public and that the timeframes are monitored. There are other parties following this process who wish to be kept informed.

Can you please resend the email sent to our personal email to the FYI site so that it is logged directly.

We requested information and correspondence that was already on file and was current. It is very surprising that it takes 20 days to confirm that MFAT require more time. Can you please revisit your approach.

Can you please forward what information you have already assembled as we are working to a timeframe.

Yours sincerely,

Matt Flannery
