end of October/Beginning of November time frame
I was under the assumption, as I"m sure many here were, that this "visit" would occur prior to any product shipping, in order to show the community what you've got.
I'm pretty sure we are now in beginning on November. Will this happen soon? If not, I think it will be a waste of time for all involved. Especially since you'll be shipping product in about 4 weeks.
Personally I would have been more inclined to be happy if the "visit" was by an independent test house, say TUV Rhineland or SGS.
Those guys have ample experience in evaluation of production/quality & shipping installations not to mention DUPRO capability.
This smacks too much of grandstanding.
