I left them a note inquiring whether they would be willing to give an open science spin to the consultancy. For instance, we could define the criteria for the individual points collaboratively, and this could then serve as the basis for other organizations that might consider getting their feet wet in this area as well. - Daniel Mietchen

Their response required clarification as to what I had in mind with "adding an open science component to the project", and I replied "What I had in mind was that the consultant could in principle gather the required information in public, such that (a) others can join in the drafting, or at least comment on it and (b) others can reuse the information." I also submitted a formal expression of interest. - Daniel Mietchen

Reply just came in: "I wanted to let you know that we have hired a consultant whose experience was a better match for our needs at this time." - Daniel Mietchen
