Mr. John Kennedy:

It gets highlighted and discussed by the governance group. Red is a stop, so one would not go on with that. Basically, they are brought in and we review and seek an understanding of the reasons for the status being red. We then make a decision as to where to go with the project and whether the project gets canned or changes are made to it. A lot of them are amber because of schedules and competing priorities. The timeline might be drifting but they would be still within the budget and the effort. All of this is reviewed at the governance group meeting.
