Hi Peter,
SLAM is delayed to at least April; some receiving partners could not take the data before then. Sorry! We're trying to make sure ID is ready to regenerate the full NACO file as rdf as soon as it's available.

Hi,
Just wondering about the status of the authority slam (great name), and the re-generation of the bulk download files.
Thanks!
