[tei-council] Tite Digitization Benefit Status

[Daniel Paul O'Donnell]

Hi all (cc'd to council because they have been actively discussing this 
lately),

A quick update on the proposed digitisation benefit. In response to our 
RFP we had 12 submissions. We've narrowed this down to a shortlist of 
four whom we will be contacting tonight. We are now running a couple of 
days late on the RFP timeline, and may have to extend the shortlist 
period, because the vendor proposals raised a number of practical issues 
that may require additional testing before a finalist is decided.

I am investigating whether we should/can publicly announce the 
shortlisted vendors (there are legal issues concerning the 
confidentiality of bids that may need straightened out). Since we are 
acting for the board, I'll send a separate confidential email to the 
board list later this evening with the list for their information.
