Re: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Statements of Interest -- required from "Individual" participants

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Carrying on this conversation with myself...

Chuck Gomes came back with a clarification -- saying that I've got it 
right.   (Many thanks for the speedy reply, Chuck)
a) Everybody should provide a Statement of Interest, unless you 
already have one on file
b) It's perfectly reasonable to *have* an interest in the outcome

c) We just need to know about it.

So...  Take a look at the SOI's from me and Steve Crocker as 
examples.  They can be quite short, and only need to describe the 
personal or business interest you have in the outcome of our work.
Carry on,
