When Allison e-mailed me last week they said they were having meetings 
to figure out how to go forward with the COA.  The foundations partners 
were going to be offering the exam through September and they were 
working on communicating the status of things to the community.

So, probably best to not jump to conclusions and wait for the official 
word from the community.
