If they do not either publish this week, or release the players reps, they will not be able to get NDAs signed for future meetings. I would imagine that one of the players' reps will break ranks in the near future to defend their reputations. In the future, excellent reps will refuse to engage with Stars because of this kind on unexcusable delay.

Is that what you want? Because that is what will happen.

It seems clear to me that something odd is happening within Pokerstars Possibly there is an internal argument between the financial guys and the poker guys? There was talk a while back about a meeting with PLO players at the end of June, but then the line went silent.

One lesson from this is that if there is another players' reps meeting with Stars, we need to insist that any embargo period on players' reports in any NDA is time-limited.

some discussion is probably going on between the decision makers at stars probably.
We should wait a bit more and not complain like ungrateful brats.
Like FR-nit I can't wait to see the rathollig issues implemented ASAP(in the next 30 seconds if possible) but oh well...
A message from Steve "guys, we need still need a bit more time" would've stopped they complaints maybe

You really think that when the minimum buy-in will be 60 or 80 instead of 40 like now, you will suddenly start winning from those to whom you lose now, dont you?

Nah, I'm actually playing cash. And no, im not playing mss. It's just funny how many think that when 40bbers will be gone they will suddenly start to win more.

You are definetly highly qualified to talk about the situation in full-ring NL CG regarding the infestation with Soviet-small-stackers, aren't you?

The silence from stars in this thread to me is the best indication of the importance they attach to the player meetings. A stars rep logs into the supernova elite thread near daily, giving updates to leaderboards etc. That is more important to them than this.

It takes ten minutes to log in, make a short post apologising for lack of response and give a reasonable time frame for next post.

Perhaps the player representatives could give us more insight into why Stars has not posted the rest of the report and disappeared from this thread? It is all very strange.

Steve is very aware of what a few smaller messages in between his important longer posts would do...

9:30 Welcome and NDA signing
9:45 Office tour
10:15 Introductions
10:45 Purpose of Meetings: Discussion
11:15 Sit and Go Tournaments (not satellites or HU)
12:00 Lunch and informal discussion
12:30 HU SNG
1:30 PLO rake session 1
3:30 Break
3:45 Player Communications
5:00 Players present top suggestions; PokerStars responds
6:15 Players return to hotel
7:00 Dinner and informal discussions

No word of recent from Steve, or any updates on an eta.

Fwiw the reps can post their reports at any point (Shane has posted a portion of his), but we (the reps) agreed it would be best to do so after Steve posted his report (obviously this decision was made prior to knowing it would be a few months for his report to come out).

It's pretty common for Stars reps to go AWOL, so not sure why are you so surprised guys

Can reps just post their own reports now?

How can Steve answe questions in other threads and just disappear and ignore this thread?

So out of line imo...
