Dave, that corporation has been formed to pursue the design of the monolithic
telescope.  After the design is completed, each member (including especially 
NOAO) can decide whether to continue as a member or not.  That decision point 
should come in about 2 years, at which time we will know a whole lot more 
about PanSTARRs as well as the 8-m version.
