The next SI Mandate is...BACKSTAGE. The Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary defines backstage as follows:

Main Entry: 1back·stage
Pronunciation: 'bak-"stAj
Function: adjective
1 : of, relating to, or occurring in the area behind the proscenium and
especially in the dressing rooms
2 : of or relating to the private lives of theater people
3 : of or relating to the inner working or operation (as of an
organization)

Your goal is to capture a "behind-the-scenes" glimpse of your subject
matter. Something that will be recognizable by all, but is seen in the
revealing and intimate light of its pre-public persona/state/way of
being. This could be anything from a spouse or significant other
preparing for work to a teen nervously preparing for a big date.
Unguarded preparation could be a synonym for this Mandate.

*Excellent* idea for a mandate, Michael. Damned if I know how I'll find
time for an SI entry, but I'll have to give it a try.
