We are now starting the development of a request for proposals (RFP) and are seeking the input of specialists from within the CTC system.  We plan to take advantage of the RFP successfully completed recently by the Orbis-Cascade consortium by using it as a model and fast-tracking our own RFP development.  To that end, we are planning a one-day workshop during which we will:

>* edit the operational portions of the Orbis-Cascade document to reflect our needs; and
