Request For Proposal

Have you ever ordered something new at a restaurant only to find out when it arrives that you really dislike it? Most of us have experienced this disappointment at least once in our lives, and here at the GNU Public Dictatorship we would like to say that Enough is Enough. We are hereby opening our request for proposal (RFP) to reduce the occurrence of such events. Our RFP will remain open until we find a proposal we like, so feel free to submit as many proposals as you can come up with.

Just for clarification, this RFP is not a brainstorming session. We know that people have proposed a number of methods, from requiring restaurants to offer free samples, to scratch & sniff menus, to scratch & taste menus, and so forth. The problem with these suggestions is that they provide a solution without talking about how to get to that solution, and without discussing the moral, sanitary, and practical obstacles that need to be overcome.

Your RFP should outline your solution, and provide enough supporting information to let us know how you plan to overcome any obstacles to implementation. The winning RFP(s) will receive funding from the Board of Dictators' discretionary fund to help them carry out the proposal. Please feel free to ask us any further questions. Happy proposing!
