I am hearing more and more contacts from different nations saying that they now have the “GO”. We don’t know the timing but it’s my understanding that they have been releasing the countries one by one.
They all should go at one time but they are getting their permissions and marching orders now. I am hearing from different governmental sources that it is all released and the amounts have been agreed to and shared with the participating countries.
