Paul - I'm grateful for your efforts here.
I'd like to use this import as a test case for further discussing our current import guidelines and policies. In particular: - Is 3 days a suitable duration for reviewing proposed imports? - Should there be an entry for this import on the Import Catalogue page? - Should the Alaska import use a separate account from other imports you've coordinated? Yes, these q's may sound a little snarky (hopefully in a friendly way ; ) ), but I am sincerely interested in resolving answers to these questions so we can help clarify guidance moving forward. (my take on the answers are: no (2 weeks minimum), no (that page is a disaster), and no clue.)
