"This proposal has been presented to Australia Post. While recognising that
the proposal has merits and complements Post's existing physical addressing
capabilities, Post management cannot give a firm commitment to endorsing the
proposal at this time. However, Post is prepared to support the proposal
being further developed to a stage where normal commercial and technical
evaluation principles can be applied and a 'go/no go' decision given."
