After numerous phone calls with everyone in the CO involved with the project, the conclusion is that no one knows exactly where the contract is and why it is not moving.

At the end of April I signed it and left it with the chief lawyer of the Culture Directorate. At the moment - 22 August - no one has been able to give a meaningful answer as to what exactly is happening, what the problem is and why the contract has not been signed. In the application regulations, one of the required documents was a schedule of activities. At the moment, this timetable has long since been completely rendered meaningless.

Well, that is simply not the way to work.
