<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you David & Steve.<br>
<br>
Cameron, it seems clear that the teams in Nottingham are well down
the path of arranging what they need so perhaps our discussion is
more forward looking. Please confirm you feel the same way?<br>
<br>
If so, perhaps we might take a look at the services and the
lessons learned from past events and tailor it to what might be
preferred for future events. For example, perhaps in the scope,
section B, items 6 & 7 (prospectus & solicitation), and 8
(website) might make sense to include?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>

you are probably aware, for the International event in
Denver, GITA and OSGeo agreed to a fixed cost contract
for all services provided. I believe the effective
percentage charge was in the ballpark of 30% of profit.
For the upcoming North American event, SharedGeo and
OSGeo agreed to a highly flexible contract which allows
for tailoring of services as determined by the Local
Organizing Committee. Consequently, the payment concept
is cost plus 3%. Both approaches have pluses and
minuses. I think the GITA model probably makes sense
for the international event, whereas the flexible
approach is probably a better model for regional events.</span></p>
