Funding sysadmin work

The SAC Chair (Alex Mandel) suggested to write down possible handling of payed sysadmin work. It was suggested:

* Nominate an emergency response retainer
* Set up a Time and Material contract
* Set up a Proposal and Bid system

Questions:

* How do we solicit bids ?
   strk> a call for interest on SAC list (priority line), on discuss list if needed (second choice)
* How much to reserve for such contract ?
   strk> current budget seems too low to allow for a new contract, so I think we should be asking for more
