Abstract
Search strategies for ETI may run the gamut from passive, in which they do all the work, to active, in which we do all the work. Searches for electromagnetic radiation occupy a middle ground - success requires a cooperative effort. Indeed the Cyclops1 design was based in part on the idea of cost-sharing between the transmitting and receiving societies.
