Great plan, well worked out! Thanks. <br>
<br>
Would you be prepared to work out the details once I provide the
contact points to you? Do we need to further formalize the
relationship i.e. have a kind of contract?. We do need them anyway
for the regular sponsors and also "Institutional Partners". Whose
job is this? Till, anyone else? <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Arnulf<br>
