I’d unfortunately continue to have her do that (or you could call, following up on the prior conversation). Need to keep politely harassing him until he does it.  Unfortunately, he doesn’t have anyone handling any of this right now (and I heard his most
recent assistant quit a month or so ago). Painful, I know. And wish I could be helpful on this.
