[PIUG List] OG Notices re: status of technology centers

In the past, the OG has provided a notice each week of the average date of =
new applications being taken up for examination in each technology center. =
 This is something my practice group has relied upon to determine whether w=
e should follow up with the PTO on the status of an application, the assump=
tion being that if the TC is currently examining cases filed in 2004 and my=
 app was filed in 2006, there is no point in spending time tracking down th=
e status. When I went into the most recent OG notices (1/15/2008) I was ex=
tremely surprised to see that this is information is no longer being provid=
ed, although the final 2007 OG contained the listing.

I dont' recall seeing notification that this was being removed from the OG,=
 wondering if anyone has further information.
