Yeah, I been pondering the issue of tracking here too, on the other hand as I said in another email my thinking is that there are so few vendors we would realistically deal with anyway that we could probably handle that through just informal coordination. So if a working group member wants to reach out to someone he/she knows who has been doing it so far so that they can just quickly ping and ask 'hey have you spoken to these people already'.
