I'm not being facetious, but I don't think that's an
option; as presented the advisory board is just setting
policy, not deciding on the fate of the project.

Since the sponsor and others who may get involved are
obviously watching this list, I felt my best option was
to post here, and hopefully elicit similar replies.
