After talking to Peter, I would recommend that the thesis is released for examination under MU's confidentiality arrangements in order to prevent it from being submitted into the public domain via the library system to allow time for a thorough review for new IP. However to ensure that this thesis does gets released into the public domain as quickly as possible (as per the objectives of the GRA fund), I would like to recommend that the services of Graeme Attwood are sought to do this review; he would have the broadest appreciation for any new IP that may be mentioned within the thesis.
