We certainly can ask them, but the idea of paying them does not fit very
well with our normal work methods, meaning that if our member companies
want to pay them, fine, but CGL-WG has no "own" money with which to pay.

Yes, that sounds like an idea.

Actually if we follow the idea that our tests will be contributed to
LSB after they embrace our feature, then this might actually be a
thing to consider. First task of course is to find out how big job it
would be. Rusty, can you locate a volunteer from valid-sg for this?
