= Considerations, Risks, and Thoughts =
 
* The the number of GSCs that a staff broker can anchor will limit the number of simultaneous in-flight transactions.  This means that there must be a limit on the amount of time that a client can claim an item from a can
 
* Passwords for cans will have to be shared among all staff brokers
 
* Passwords for cans will have to be shared with each client for the duration of an exchange transaction
 
* Broker staff can use spreadsheets to track requests; however, WHC can make requests via mail
 
* Clients can probably use well-known EVE market sites plus a fixed percentage to provide escrow ISK for goods.  One issue will be the risk involved in seeking the low price vs the inconvenience of the current HS static
 
* Broker staff should have a fair amount of trade skills (Accounting, Broker Relations, standing increasing skills, etc)
