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

[Steven Feldman]

Michael

The overall guarantee including seed funding is $140k - I do not recall this high a number being advised previously. Could you clarify.

While I do not have any fundamental disagreement with the clauses that you have added at the end, they will need to be reviewed by someone more legally qualified than me which may incur both costs and delay.

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.
