Eric:
The verbiage is in the email as well as on the wiki.  I was attempting to
bring focus to the list of elements that Elaine wanted examined and agreed.
And yes, if we include investigating RSP development as an 'in kind'
service,then I suspect those4 would be appropriate questions seeking
answers/clarification.

I say put it to the open list  and lets  do it.
