Evaluating University Proposals to be AMICO Testbed Participants
Introduction
At our first committee meeting, after reviewing the content of the Call for Participation in the AMICO University Testbed Project, the committee brainstomed the following list of characteristics, in response to the question: What makes a good university testbed partner?
These characteristics need to be refined further, between now and the deadline for the submission of proposals, December 15, 1997, in order for the committee to develop a shared sense of the kind of partners we are looking for to collaborate in the testbed. These criteria will aid in the evaluation of the received proposals.
