As expressed on the call and in my own proposed modification, I do not oppose the sentiment behind JJ's modification. 
However, in some ways this wording undercuts the more liberal approach to input by saying that we "do not expect full proposals from non-operational communities." To my mind, this creates an unwanted dichotomy between the operational community proposal development process and "everyone else," when what we want is for op and non-operational communities to work together on a proposal. 

Thus I could support this change only if the first clause is sawed off, to read: 

"This RFP does not preclude any form of input from the non-operational communities."

Addressing Joe's concerns about our capacity, etc. I am not worried. While I strongly agree with him that we do not want to encourage groups to go off into their own silos and come up with a proposal in isolation (and I can think of two groups that have a tendency to do that), I think the RFP already puts major emphasis on widespread support for proposals. If anyone "goes silo" they should be prepared for the fact that their ideas will not be part of the final package unless they can show that they have support outside their silo and made a serious effort to gain support from the other parts of the community making a proposal. Also, I do not think we are going to get dozens of actual proposals.
