[atrt2] URGENT: Final Draft RFP

Tue Jul 2 23:21:57 UTC 2013

It has undergone a review from legal staff and a 
bunch of other things cleaned up. Last I heard 
from Larisa was she and Alice are working  on it 
and that it would be going out as soon as 
possible. She will confirm to the list as soon as 
postings and notifications are complete.

I am attaching the last version I saw, which is 
probably close to what is going out.
