Sam, do you have the bandwidth to register for the tax exemption? I have some time next week, but I know nothing about all the California paperwork, so I suspect getting me up to speed on that might be slower than just doing it?
For the rest, I think a quick call next week would be great, and we can figure out weeklies then? What time suits? (I thought Doodle had a good option for selecting both time and day, but I can't find it now). I'm on Pacific time, and can do anything except Weds am (Apache board calls always go long :-)) Noirin > Aside from the paperwork we'll want to put together some sort of a go to > market plan in the coming weeks, for execution starting January?
