>> o Understanding of what release practices and timeframes are currently used
>> by different products - Solaris 10, Solaris Express, Nexenta, BeleniX,
>> others?
>> o Understanding what technical or social boundaries are connected with the
>> existing release management processes - ARC, C-Team, PAC, P-Team
>> o Proposal detailing required steps to get consolidations coordinated on a
>> single timeframe.
