Sounds good - I'll get Joan or John to put together a summary of the provisions that passed.  I think the President is signing in the next few days so the final bill provisions should be online.

If this passes into federal law I'd anticipate that everyone we are talking to re RSTP will ask us about it and how it impacts our strategy, etc.

I know that it was supposed to aid investments into start-ups and since Eric Cantor was a main proponent of it it is sure to be investor friendly.  We can have have Joan or our intern, John, pull a bill summary from THOMAS or come up with a list of its key provisions, but for the analysis of how it would impact potential investors I would have to defer to those of you who had a little more day-to-day experience dealing with investors in the tech space.
