ABPSC — RFI 'Lite' as alternative to traditional RFI process

The RFI process described in the P&P (4.2.2) has an underlying assumption (or at least that is the perception among members) that it will be send out as a formal document, and companies will send back responses that have been legally vetted, as the 'voice of the company', on generally a months-long schedule.

Sometimes we simply want to know what individuals think, on a shorter time-frame, and this process is not amenable to that.

Requests have been made by three separate members on individual occasions in the past month for an 'RFI Lite', consisting of a simple web questionnaire that can be filled out by individuals not speaking on behalf of an entire company.

Discussion needs to happen on what the changes to the existing RFI process need to be, or if this is acceptable as the P&P is written, and is instead a matter of member education and introduction of appropriate support infrastructure.
