I suggest you arrange for a conversation with Brian and the we can discuss the cost when I am back in town, perhaps at the end of the Jan 19 board meeting. Steve.

That's my only concern. We are moving our office to a new location next Thursday. As I'm sure you can imagine, this is not the time for us to meet! Would it be possible for you to get in touch the week of 1/24? I hope by then we will be settled and more able to concentrate on your project. Thanks!

This clearly will involve a mail-out mail-back questionnaire but might also have telephone and web-based components. I am copying my colleague Brian Junker who will be teaching the class this semester. He (and I if I am in town!) would be happy to meet and do some brainstorming on this. Classes begin Monday and he'd like to at least tell the class that there is a serious possibility of some type of project on this.
