From the Paper:

"As mentioned in the very first factor: Formality, the success of the partnership will be dependent upon the formation of strong and trusting association amongst the contributors within a partnership. Also the benefit will lie with partnerships that will built upon already familiar ground as it will help the acceleration of the process and purpose of the partnership as the trust and confidence amongst the contributors will be built a lot more quickly.
