Haven't had chance to look at it yet but will do as soon as possible.

OK - I'm ready if anyone else is. There haven't been many responses on this
lately.
I could start to have a go at a skeletal RFP, but don't think I can do this
alone for 3 reasons:

i) I am not up to speed with BOCA or the details of the workings of CORBA
ii) as a University, I don't think we can officially be submitters to the
RFP
iii) I've got too much on to do it all!

I'm not sure what your current position is, Dave?  And under what DTF would
we issue the RFP (not that it matters at the moment):  CORBAmed and the DTF
working on BOCA are likely candidates.
