Max asked a question last night, and I thought it would be good for 
others to see the question and the answers Greg and I gave.

Max:
>> Do we consider a success metric to be about the diversity of schools? If
>> a POSSE will have 10 students, for instance, I think we'd want at most 4
>> from the host institution, or from any one institution.

Me:
> Actually, the other way around - professors from the same school in a pack >
> solo prof from one school. Keep the CoP alive locally, support each other,
> etc. after the POSSE's over.

Greg:
I think this is key, in fact.  Changing the culture at a particular
institution takes multiple profs.

That is all.
