Sure, but: |

1. The list of items that need to be settled to move to SPI may be |
| 8 |
smaller in scope than the list of things that need to be settled to |
| 9 |
keep running the Foundation. |
| 10 |
2. The Foundation would only need to be fully caught up for a moment |
| 11 |
in time to execute the handover, and then it would be gone. |
| 12 |
3. Since #1/2 would be a well-defined finite set of work it could be |
| 13 |
bid out and professionals could be hired to do the heavy lifting. |

I think that this represents a fairly different burden than the one of |
| 16 |
trying to keep things running properly forever. If you handed a CPA |
| 17 |
$10k to get all the books in order then six months later they'd be a |
| 18 |
mess again. |

It is like the difference between maintaining a house, and getting it |
| 21 |
in good enough shape to sell. Sure, if you've been maintaining your |
| 22 |
house all along then nothing needs to be done to sell it, but if not |
| 23 |
the prospect of just hiring some professionals to do a fixed set of |
| 24 |
cleanup tasks for a short term is probably more welcome than all the |
| 25 |
work that goes into keeping the house in tip-top shape all the time. |
