  * who would take a FT position if it were available?
  * separate: willingness, ability, preference, insistence to work PT or FT
  * what, organizationally, should be the review/prerequisite process for accepting a FT "applicant"? a plan of work? Stewart & Shannon did one; we could base on that.

  * How we prioritize types of work

###General organizational decision making###
