2/28/2014CSI NPSS AdCom Report10 Progress –Potential Partnerships PartnerStatus India4 separate groups expressing strong desire to partner; partner evaluation criteria in preparation for July 3o0th Workshop AfricaAdditional groups in South Africa, Zambia, Ghana, Senegal identified at recent CSI appearance at T&D, CSI Workshop s Montreal (June 1) and Washington (July 3oth); new contact working in Namibia just joined CSI; Congo hospital/clinic complex OtherContacts in Dominican Republic, Brazil, Nicaragua, Grenada from T&D and Montreal need follow-up. Additional opportunities emerging via Posner ‘s 70 INGO tenants Summary***Three Africa partners from 2012 are owed first priority for new SunBlazer systems; Cameroon started with matching funds ***All partners must contribute significant matching funds for on- ground business development. ***New Partner development will take ~1 yr to be ready for field units; once qualified may start with single unit deployment Total potential above is 14, well beyond goal of ten for coming year. Partner and funding development equally on critical path.
