I'm sorry.....
the "Executive Summary", posted above, is available at this link:

To me, the "cast of character" below, seems more likely to fund a corporatist propaganda "message", than it seems likely to fund any reliable "Executive Summary", that would be of benfit to someone with no profit agenda....like.....me!
