Hello, Steven: Just a brief update to my last email ... We have determined to extend the ARIA review period to 17 April. An announcement will be sent to the usual lists momentarilly. If you will need time beyond 17 April, please simply let us know. We are prepared to extend this date for you, should you need.

However, I am happy to work with you to insure you have the time you need. We value your review. I will bring this up on our PF call--about to begin. This is just a quick response. I'll return with more substantive soon.
