Not bindingly, we provided a CAP (Corrective Action Plan) for all those
findings indicated what we did to fix them and provided the evidences and what
we were going to do for those that couldn´t be fixed before receiving the
report.

It´s in a section called "other questions" in which they say "Startcom has
developed a plan of corrective actions with the objective of solving the
identified exceptions, having been implemented the majority of these actions".

Well, because I wanted to speed up the process if possible. We did everything
what was requested and replied the bug. And also applied for the inclussion and
none said nothing about it. Kathleen told me that it was going to be slow
because the queue was long so I was waiting, no problem, but didn´t know that
need to ask permission for applying.
