I agree as other people have voiced, that it should be made more clear what are the things that are expected/desired to be part of a future delegation, and what are the things that are going to be part of the team operation while that is not the case yet. > […] They drive the question of whether we have > the right team description and whether we have the right people for the > job.

This demand makes this interaction rather awkward, :/ given the context this is in, and which we cannot discuss in here, and which might require spelling out what I'll mention in the next paragraph, which I think should have been no need to. :( But then I see no reason at all why they need to do that now. Even though they have already stated so, and the mail you reply to went as far as mentioning a timetable of around 12 months, which TBH I pretty much interpreted as a tactful way to say “once the current DPL term is over”.
