OASIS BloggerHello, Industry! The next blog you hear from me, hopefully very soon, will announce the release of the final RFPs. In fact, that blog has already been written. So, much like “Let It Be” was recorded before “Abbey Road” but released afterwards, I will post these final thoughts in a not-final blog. (Yes, I did just implicitly compare this blog to the Beatles oeuvre. I apologize to the Fab Four!)

Will it just be the next company ranked after the original cut-off or will the overall rankings be reevaluated before selecting who gets the open slot?
