Grant, I'm not able to get back to you on this, I've CC'd the Free-Sklyarov

Thanks, pablos.

Hi, Paul

I'm trying again to do something on the Free Dmitry
movement and what's next.


So what happens now with the Skylarov situation?
What's the next move for your site?

Any word on any kind of release or court date?

Thanks,

Grant
