[OSGeo-Conf] 2017 Boston agreement & seed funding - IMPORTANT

[Michael Terner]

​Conference Dev Committee:
Thank you very much for your support of the motion to provide our team seed
funding.

As promised earlier in the thread, attached is a "draft agreement" between
OSGeo and the Boston Location Organizing Committee (BLOC), as well as with
our PCO, Delaney Meeting & Event Management (DMEM). We are hopeful that
this is on target and can be passed on to the Board in time for their
meeting on Thursday. We are assuming that Conference Dev will bring this to
the Board's attention.

Here's what you will find in the attached document (attached as .DOC, .ODT
and .PDF):

   1. Our re-work of the Bonn Template Agreement to include our specific
   requests for advance and guarantees; as well as our "percentage of profits
   returned to OSGeo" language that was also contained in our proposal (and is
   slightly different than 90%).
   2. Some common-sense legal terms that were suggested by DMEM for things
   like Force Majeur, mutual indemnification and arbitration of disputes. We
   also affirm our commitment to purchase our own cancellation and liability
   insurance.
   3. Attachment 1 which is structured as a PCO contract between OSGeo and
   DMEM on behalf of the BLOC, allowing DMEM to serve as our financial agent
   and as the entity that would sign the commitment with our venue (this was
   distributed earlier).

Given the nature of this arrangement we have three signature lines for
OSGeo, the BLOC, and also DMEM, on behalf of the BLOC.

Please let us know if you have any question, or need anything further. And
again, thanks in advance for carrying this forward to the Board.

Sincerely,

MT & the BLOC
