Dear all,

It has been suggested to me that ending the review period prior to a
weekend may not be the best timing.

In hindsight I agree, and since I will be travelling next week, I propose
to leave the period open until EOD Sunday 1st December.

Please feel free to continue the review process.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

Sincerely,

Richard
