What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 15 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to 3e5927ae5eb50b8c195374adaf1ea7ee…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 745 notices in the record whose component field names steering. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 39 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.

The copy quoted above hashes to 3e5927ae5eb50b8c195374adaf1ea7ee…. If the notice is reworded later, that fingerprint will not match, which is how a reader checks that the quotation was of the version we say it was.
