re all the time lines the appeal kicked off once the Environment minister indicated to the administrator whether they required an independent panel or not. Once the env minister communicates the clock started ticking.

We never knew when this happened so our clocks were all guesses. In the webinar Jac said "we have recently discovered that a panel was not required". we still do not know when that was communicated to DMR and clocks started ticking.

Appeal panel

If the Minister is of the view that expert advice must be sought or that an appeal panel must be appointed, the Appeal Administrator must source the expert advice or constitute the appeal panel within 10 days from the date of receipt of such an instruction from the Minister. The expert or appeal panel must provide advice to the Appeal Administrator within 10 days from the receipt of the instruction from the Appeal Administrator.

Sorry Feral, but if we are going to talk dates and delays and whether they are outside of the agreed framework then we probably should have all of the facts
