  admittedly for me this bullet reads like there is no EIC software
worth mentioning other than what follows from the sPHENIX effort.

  At the same time, I agree in general with everything written about
sPHENIX & EIC interplay on slides 3-6.

  How about

  "A strategic follow-on to the ongoing EIC software development and 
sPHENIX effort, directly ..." ?

  Regards,
    Alexander.
