Hi Andrzej,

If not sooner, I should have an answer that represents the Beman
project leadership's thoughts on this,  latest tomorrow at 3pm EST
after the Boost Foundation monthly meeting.

I also want to confirm that your inquiry is not independent of the
Asset Stewardship review. i.e. It matters if the Boost Foundation
chooses to support another initiative (or the Beman project
specifically).

Thanks,
Glen
