(Perhaps my bits were a bit fuzzy) No. NMs should be granted upload rights as soon as they finish the NM process (but a faster and a more productive one). We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we have a fantastic NM infrastructure that only needs more care. The above is the ideal situation, but if it is not possible then the DM starts making sense and I will support it. -- bye, - Nacho -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
