Sunava - I tend to agree with Jonas re the timing of MS' response/
feedback.
Given the f2f meeting is now about six weeks away, can you commit to
and deliver on an earlier deadline, no later than June 6?

Wow, this is really bad news that we won't get this feedback until
just two weeks before the face to face meeting. Especially given
the numerous delays in getting this feedback in the past I am very
worried that there will be further delays. Are you absolutely
certain that won't happen again?
Even just having two weeks in order to discuss this feedback prior
to the meeting seems like very short on time.
I would really encourage you to consider providing this feedback
more promptly. I do not wish to attend a face to face meeting
solely to discuss new feedback which we have not had the
opportunity to research and cannot usefully discuss. I also hope to
cover much more than microsofts feedback during the meeting.
