So if it is not in writing .... does it count?

Well... word via email is that we have a "verbal approval" One says looks good and the other says no word yet. The later appears to be smelling a little like blackmail. Loving the first email not liking the second. That is about as insightful as I can be right now. I hope to have full disclosure by the end of the month.
Fingers are crossed that our dossier will be arriving tomorrow fully certified and ready to send off to .... Agency yet to be named.
