Great question! Minor feedback: I think the resolution criteria here could be improved a bit. I think there’s been intermittent contact with the islanders for over a century - and planes and boats and so on all exist - so I’m sure all the adults know and discuss the outside world a lot. What would be interesting to me is if a government undertakes or formally permits someone else to undertake a sustained engagement effort with the residents.

@TylerJohnston You're right, I'm not really sure what I meant myself. Your criteria align with the idea behind this market, so I'll add it to the description. If someone protests the change, I'll change it back.
