Requirements for the proposed BNL eRHIC Ring-Ring Electron Ion Collider (EIC) are discussed, together with the dependence of luminosity with the beam divergence and forward proton acceptance. Parameters are given for four cases. The first two use no cooling and could represent a first phase of operation. The next two use strong cooling and increased beam currents. In each case parameters are given that 1) meets the requirement for forward proton acceptance, and 2) has somewhat higher divergences giving somewhat higher luminosity.
