Thank you, Lane!

This is interesting:

"Completed Remediation Early" means the countrys average completion date on the IYCC readiness survey was before October 1999."

Does no t leave much time for testing and reworking. Also, not average so does 6/99 for one system plus 12/99 equal an average readiness of 9/99. How does one average dates?

It appears that any country that did not "Complete Remediation Early" is in serious trouble. Note many oil producers did not "Complete Remediation Early".
