Has someone from the two companies communicated with them before? They 
don't just hand out parcial exemptions unfortunately.
You need to apply for them and the form is about 12 or 15 pages.
Then once you've filled that out, they can take up to two months to 
decide if your application is good enough, did I mention the FAQ 
explaining these new laws is 50 pages long.
They sent me the July one the other day.
Along with the  50 page FAQ they also sent a 400  page  document as well 
explaining the legislation.
Your DRIP will get sent to a few security agencies for comment, which is 
probably why they have allowed the extra time.
Anyway the point is, unless you have communicated with them, or one of 
your other managers has, you won't get emails. You need to have the name 
and contact info of the company owner / CEO and or someone high up in 
the company on the form.
But they need to sign it.
Regards Chad.
