When we have information that is available to share, we share it. These are fluid circumstances. Sometimes circumstances change regarding capacity, in what the provider is able to do and as to what we are able to tell people. There are fluid circumstances. We have unaccommodated people. We are trying to move as quickly as we can. The problem with that is when we give people information as soon as we can, the process can change. As we are telling people information early, the situation very often changes. If we were to wait until everything was lined up, perfect and done, it would be weeks into the process and we would be accused of not telling people early enough. The fact is, we are telling people early and the reason people are not getting everything they want is because it is at an early stage. We can only tell people a certain amount when the process has started.
