[statecom] preliminary report on adcom meeting

[Eli Beckerman]

Jim, the latter part of that paragraph applies to AdCom REJECTING
the CDLC results. AdCom did not reject them, we failed to approve
or reject them.

I know that trust is low right now, and I can see how quoting only a segment
of the plan might set off alarm bells... but I ask you to read the section
again
and satisfy yourself that the allocation was indeed automatically approved.

Thanks,
Eli
