This begs the question of, if Princeton did "pull up its stakes,"
where it would replant them.

o	How should Princeton, for example, measure the "quality" of
	its NSP?  How can Princeton be assured that another NSP would
	be "better?"

o	Do you have any measurements which provide an indication of
	the relative quality of the major NSPs?

o	Do you have a ranking of the quality of the major NSPs based on,
	(in the absence of quantitative evidence), informal evidence?

o	Do you think the work of the IPPM group is likely to help?
	Why or why not?
