Some of the concerns regarding funding will be addressed soon and we will also discuss the future direction we're going to take with the protocol. We've had some very exciting developments in the last week in terms of the direction we want to take which we will share with the community when we are ready and have worked out all the details.

I think its important now to give us some time to sort out our ideas and make a concrete proposal / plan. Once we're ready we will be publishing a blog post update as usual and will also hopefully have some professional marketing materials to give with it.
