I think that we are doing alright on our development goals. There isn’t as much progress in some goals as there is in others but that can happen. Depending on different situations, some take more effort, and can be harder to achieve the results they expected. But over all I think that we are in the right track. There is always room for improvement. I think the new goals are great and that they can be achieved if we continue to do our best to complete these new goals.
