While no detailed cost breakdowns have been formulated, it is possible to envision an extremely basic, ``bare bones'' GEM project funded at the level of $100,000/year. Funding for a self-contained GEM project would begin at the level of $1,000,000/year, a level that would allow an active GEM Team to be formed, and to substantively address a number of the tasks described within a period of about 5 years. To make truly significant progress on all of the major tasks with 3 to 5 years would probably require a yearly level of funding in excess of 2,000,000/year.
