This is an excellent suggestion that I've now incorporated. For detail see my
other post on the current pledge totals.

>Another question: any idea who will staff this thing? 

This one of the many things to be worked out by the "boot strap" approach as
we go along. We intend to obtain the most qualified cryobiologists and
neurobiologists to be on the Prometheus Project research team. In addition,
we plan to have a team of scientific advisors, not just the "look good"
uninvolved kind that we are all so familiar with, but people who will be
actively involved both during development of the scientific plan and the
execution of the research. Many individual discussion will have to take place
before anything definite can be reported. As I am sure you also realize, no
scientist can be expected to make any decision on something like this until
it is clear that the research will actually get funded and take place. So we
will need to have a lot more pledges yet before we can expect definitive
commitments from various scientists. 

Concerning the Web page for Prometheus. Yes, we obviously will need one and
we are working on arranging it. If I want to contact your graphic designer
I'll let you know.

Thanks again, Peter, for your pledge, your ideas and your questions.
