  Well I think this senerio if fine.  Doesn't it support my assertion
above.  I think it does.  

  As to "Volunteer", if a group want's to volenteer, that is fine. 
However I think that the costs should be shared the CORE, IACH and
the "Volenteers".  I is seems like the CORE and IECH are almost 
counting on someone to "Volenteer" to do this development, without
any financial support from the org's that will play a part of mandiating
a method (CORE).  This I find just plain wrong and unfair.
