MJ, apologies for this. As you guessed, all I intended to do was to  
ask what you were going to work on, but managed to word that in a  
particularly snotty (and unclear) way. Sorry.  The irony here is that  
my main concern was to encourage action, rather than this sort of  
procrastination over administrative nicities, and that appears to be  
exactly what my ill-thought-out reply has done in this case. Oh well.
