OK: how about if you do a draft one pager and invite comments from the list?

  Now here's a pretty radical idea.  The Pentagon has put out a request for
  ideas for combating terrorism.  How about offering them open space?

  There's some information below.

  Anyone interested in working on this?

  PENTAGON SEEKS IDEAS ON COMBATING TERRORISM
  The Department of Defense announced today that the Under Secretary of
  Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics and the Combating
  Terrorism Technology Support Office Technical Support Working Group are
  jointly sponsoring a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) asking for help in
  fighting terrorism.

  The BAA, issued Oct. 23 (No. 02-Q-4655), specifically seeks help in
  combating terrorism, defeating difficult targets, conducting protracted
  operations in remote areas, and developing countermeasures to weapons of
  mass destruction. Its objective is to find concepts that can be developed
  and fielded within 12 to 18 months.

  The BAA provides for a three-phase process in which interested parties
  initially submit a one-page description of their concept. Initial responses
  are due by Dec. 23, 2001. After a review of a submission and if DoD is
  interested in further information, the submitter will then be asked to
  provide a more detailed description of up to 12 pages of the idea.
  Submitters of concepts that the department is not interested in pursuing
  further will be so notified.

  DoD will evaluate phase two submissions and ask those who have offered the
  most promising ideas to submit full proposals in a third phase that may form
  the basis for a contract. Phase two submitters who are not asked to submit
  full proposals will be so notified. Submitters of a full phase three
  proposal that is not accepted by the department may request a formal
  debriefing. Debriefings will not be provided to phase one and phase two
  submitters whose concepts were not accepted.

  Interested parties can obtain more information concerning this BAA by
  visiting http://www.bids.tswg.gov .
