How will the Consortium seek out and encourage companies that work with these technologies to become Consortium Member Entities? 3.How does the Consortium Membership Agreement convey provisions of the Consortium Agreement to Consortium Member Entities, such as IP and Patent Rights. Does the Agreement enable non-member companies that the Government desires to have an opportunity to propose concepts to rapidly join the consortium? Does the Membership fee structure have flexibility not to inhibit small innovative companies from becoming members? How does the Consortium 4.Membership Agreement facilitate multi-member or Government Agency teaming opportunities? 5.How does the existing Consortium Membership provide a strong mix of non-traditional defense contractors, academia, entrepreneurs and traditional defense contractors and how do their technologies match the future needs of SSUOE? 6.The Consortium and Consortium Member's past performance with Government and industry in the specific interest area or similar and/or related areas will be evaluated to assess the relative risks associated with the Consortium's likelihood of success in meeting the requirements stated in this OT Consortium Agreement.

Emphasis will be on recent, relevant experience. 7.How does Key Consortium Personnel reduce likelihood of Consortium failure. 8.What are Consortium Business Model Operating Costs and how do they change as Government use of the Consortium grows?
