These are very good questions. Actually, they're all the questions that were discussed at the inaugural meeting that was held in November.
Certainly, I will be pleased to post the documents regarding the composition of the committee and a summary of the discussions at our meeting.
It's a very unusual situation. As you know, usually when researchers receive a grant, they do the research, and they're very silent about their progress because there's intellectual property involved, as you know, and there's also competition involved. Don't try to imagine that there's no competition between these groups. They publish the results, and it's only when the results are published that they start talking about it.
We're doing things very differently this time--very differently. We're asking them to share their results at every step along the way and to be totally open about them. I must say, the response has been fantastic. At the end of the meeting, they all agreed that they were a tad reluctant to proceed in that way, but it had been a fantastic day because they actually learned and shared and got ideas that will allow them to go faster.
They also agreed that they would—after what was, as you can imagine, a very long discussion—reveal their results in six months. Why six months? Why not faster? It was because they all felt that there would be so few results before the end of June that it could be misleading. But they felt that at the end of June they'd have a sufficient amount of preliminary data that it will be meaningful.
Now, we're talking about blinded studies that they will agree to “unblind”, so they can share. It's a very unusual situation, and we won't be able to share those results with the external world, for intellectual property reasons that you can understand.
