To kinform - have we a new verb?

On Friday an RAF NImrod crashed in Afghanistan with the loss of 14 lives.

The plane was based at RAF Kinloss in Scotland and this morning (Sunday) I heard the base commander (I think) speaking at a press conference use the neologism "kinforming" as in "names will be released once kinforming is complete".

Was this a slip of the tongue or the launch of a new verb? Am I alone is suspecting that this is a piece of service jargon that's now crept into the public domain.

How widely is it used? Do, for example, the police detail officers to kinforming duties?

I'll keep an ear out for further hearings of kinform. Meanwhile OED - you heard it here first.
