Correct.  The original ruling was in 2000, then the renewal was in 2003 
and 2006.  But this three-year cycle is really impossible to maintain, 
because someone needs to track the issue and organize the effort.  
Inevitably, the interested parties lose track of the issue.  It's crazy 
to have such a short-term renewal cycle.
