      Makes sense. I understand that you wish to be involved in both
      events, which would be a good thing.<br>
      But that for future events you will have a clean slate for
      proposing how contracts can be set up.<br>

          Cameron, it seems clear that the teams in Nottingham <b>&
            Minneapolis</b> 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>

                    attached copies of the contracts  I promised to

                    considering options for management support of future

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">As


                    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>
