By RFP you mean ITA?
I think six months and a year is a really long time; the idea I have
in mind is that after say a month it is reasonable to ask: how are
things going? can we help?
I favor solutions which are faster, but which ask whether things are
going ok, than solutions which are slower and can be done without
interaction.

Well, perhaps we could change RFA/ITA to RFT/ITT, which would mean
"Request for Transfer" and "Intent to Transfer"?
