I listen very closely to the policy community, which is this
list.  Who else is "working on the problem," and exactly which
problem do you mean in this case (I'm afradi thread-trimming 
may have lost the context)?  Outside resources will not be able 
to assess our cost-recovery fees, but may have useful things to 
say about economics.

Please send pointers to useful information.
