While we wait here's something to keep in mind. Even though most of us are/have been expecting Phase II from the MDA by 3/31, it is after all the Government we're dealing with, so I wouldn't be too crushed if it takes longer. As a matter of fact in two weeks we'll be participating in the UCONN's prestigious "CHASE" Workshop" along with numerous luminaries in the field. One in particular is Barry Birdsong from the MDA. He is a featured speaker at the Plenary Session scheduled for April 9, and could have some interesting news. (just my opinion) Here's a bio:

Barry Birdsong
Division Chief, Parts and Materials Engineering
Missile Defense Agency
Mr. Birdsong is the Parts, Materials & Processes (PMP) Division Manager for the Missile Defense Agency. He has served in this position since April 2006. In this role he is responsible for MDA requirements and policy regarding counterfeit parts, parts procurement, radiation effects, part selection, screening, and qualification criteria, failure analysis, DMSMS, COTS strategies, lead-free prohibitions, materials engineering and implementation of the Department of Defense corrosion prevention policy.
Mr. Birdsong is also the manager of the MDA Parts and Materials Advisory Group (PMAG) that includes the MDA Failure Analysis Laboratories, the MDA Advisory Program and the Directorate Lead for Supply Chain Risk Management. In addition, Mr. Birdsong is the program manager for over $25 million in Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contracts related to parts and materials technologies.

Hopefully we'll hear something sooner, but just in case, I have my reservations and plan to attend.
