I apologize for any inconvenience you have received as a result of our delay. At the time that your formal proposition was announced, the Zoner Council already had over 7 items on its agenda list. No doubt your diplomatic proposal takes a priority over most of them, but we still have a number of issues to resolve before we can move on to this matter. Please allow me to assure you that we are doing the best we can to complete our other agenda items as quickly and effectively as possible.
