If I'm following you, it seems to me that some support systems are needed to help us in the transition. As you pointed out, there is a transition.
From a science-based perspective, I appreciate the codification aspect, because I think you're right that it's extremely important. It's unusual for us to have a group come to us and say “Please regulate us”. Usually we hear the opposite. It's “Please don't regulate us”, or “Please take regulations away”. It's enlightening to hear a group say, “Regulations are how we can be good at what we do and be successful”.
I'm wondering if there's a role for innovation and science to play in helping us with the transition, besides the money piece--understanding, of course, that as the transition yields go down, there's a cashflow issue.
Is there a role for the universities, the clusters, to play in helping us transition across that and perhaps reduce the transition period? Is there a role for them to play?
