Good grief! You can tell this is a bunch of "engineering professionals". This is the kind of question you pose to an engineer for cheap entertainment while you listen to them turn a Gordian Knot into a Fractal.
How's this for a list of requirements (Good Lord knows we need guidelines or we'll...
I have direct dealings with half the labs you mention and no doubt there is some sincere brain power there. However, they have few or no political agendas?!? Pu-lease! That's incredibly naive.
