I'm looking at the mandate and the SBIR as 2 totally different things, nothing to do with each other really. We are ahead of the game with the mandate the SBIR is the icing on the cake ($$$).
Yeah Shail, I remember picking on you about six months ago when I though the MDA was going to play around a bit to establish whatever personal/professional credibility they needed and then sign on.
Now I'm angry at them for all the BS we're being dragged through, but I'm still breaking it down to politics. I posted probably 'bout an hour & a ½ ago with the following list of presentations from attendees fighting the mandate at a govt sponsored symposium. Still got the scratch file open, so here it is again. Janet Meraghlia's in it, Track and Trace is our only competitor, DLA presentation bitches everybody else out.
