They need this time to work and all they need from us is our support. They know they've got that.

Jane,
I think the issue is that many of the members of these boards do Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) in our everyday jobs. This is large base of expertise that could hel;p out including mentors who work for suppliers that make the components in question. I know I would feel better if they solicited peer review of their plan because there a lot of people who think they know how to properly do this type of work but don't really go in depth on it, or understand how to apply the ACE/Six Sigma processes.

I agree that they should not do this in a bubble, I'm just not sure that FIRST has demonstrated they have the most capable people involved in the process, and if they had asked for support many of us could have aided in the preliminary fault tree or other preliminary trouble shooting to set up the test plan. I hope that representatives from NI and CISCO were at least consulted for formulating the test plan.
