Peter,
There is a growing public outrage at the ARDA decision to not even invite, to an Oral presentation, the core team proposing the
anticipatory web challenge
problem .
This decision by ARDA program management is only one, more, very clear example of a history of similar activities by DARPA, NIST, others and even NSF.

We must recognize that there is no "acknowledged" awareness by program managers of the specific claimed bias and provincial thinking. They simply do not understand the proposals and rather than admit this, they act behind the veil of authority. The notion of not understanding exposes the true purpose for these funding instruments.
The 2005 BCNGroup Report to the Congress will expose this problem publicly.
Over the past few months, in private discussions with Mary Ann at (agency), we talked about an institutional awareness that programs like the NIMA Glass Box are not what they propose to be. She was supposed to talk with those individuals at NSA whose idea for the Glass Box originated the now over 20 M in expenditures. Did this happen? Well that is another story . . .
These programs are cultural welfare to specific groups or businesses (like Cyc Corp) and academic communities. The stated reasons for the funding are a deception.
Much of what Mitre does is in the support of this welfare.
The funding of some types of work and not others is not the selection of the best science; it is an expression of narrow and provincial thinking.
The 2005 BCNGroup Report to the Congress is being developed so that each member of the core team will forward to Senators and Representatives the same materials on Jan 1 2005.
The story told will be complete with a specific history, with the ARDA Challenge Problem program only the last in a series of regular behaviors.
Senator Levin is aware of the concept of the National Project from discussions I had with two of his senior staff in June 2004.
