Abbey Rd,
I'm not a bassa adherent, but I would suggest your question is pointless if not stupid.
I would imagine the bassa leadership are ensuring that the 't' and the 'i' are crossed and dotted. Quite obviously BA play every legal card they can at every opportunity. Bassa are perhaps being cautious of BA's responce to any announcement.
Therefore the answer you seek will come from the bassa leadership when they have what they require. Perhaps you should email them.
