In terms of where the entity finally ends up, the CIC is a short-term bootstrapping mechanism - I don't believe there is a final decision on entity location currently. There are some attractions however to having multiple jurisdictions involved - we've really appreciated the flexibility that SPI has helped us with over the years (as an example).
