Great plan, well worked out! Thanks.

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?

Cheers,
Arnulf
