Fair enough
Hello @katalin – actually, there has been a kind of follow-up on June 11th, called “Towards LOTE5: two great proposals and a problem. How do we move forward?”. I posted that because I was worried time might be running out. It prompted some debate (mostly incorporating the point of view of some of the newcomers into ER), but neither of the two proponents (yourself and @ireinga) jumped in. Because of the problem described in the post, we did not feel safe to drive this forward as we did last year.
I am happy to report that that problem is mostly solved now – we should have fairly complete information on our finances next week. I cannot speak for ER LBG, but I would personally propose a brainstorming session with the proponents to figure out where to go next; my hunch (again: my own opinion! I did not discuss it with anyone else!) is that we are not in a position to set up a LOTE5 in less than four months, and we will have to reschedule to early 2016. Time is just too short, and we are all exhausted after a very intense first half of 2015.
