  What are the stated reasons that it has not?  That would be my
question.
What re the guidelines in this situation?

  As far as I know there are no guidelines set to disceminate here.  I
guess I 
would ask the reverse, why not?  And I would expect the answer to be
bassed on
a agreed upon set of guidelines or standards.  This however should not
compleatly
exclude independant processes from being looked at if they have been
submited
for consideration.
