The TB has an outstanding action item that apparently awaits a response
from you. It's been languishing a long time, and I suspect is out of
date or missing further action that was already taken. Maybe the email
I'm replying to is actually the expected response from you? Could you
update us on your understanding of the current status of this, please?
