For whatever reason, I cannot get this to open, could you resent it in another format?

Kuhn; [email protected] Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Details of fiscal sponsorship agreement for Evergreen & Conservancy Following on my Nov. 10th email and the general agreement indicated both on the mailing lists and at the last Evergreen Govenernance meeting, I have attached LaTex and PDF versions of an updated fiscal sponsorship agreement between Evergreen and the Conservancy that I would like to propose we forward to Bradley Kuhn of the Software Freedom Conservancy. Bradley gave us a walkthrough of the sections of the document in his email to the project (http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2010-October/003540.html), so I'll highlight the changes that I've made to the document: 1. In general, change the references to "the Developer[s]" to "the Interim Oversight Board" and include the list of all members of the Interim Governance Committee as taken from one of the most recent drafts of the proposed rules of governance for the Evergreen Software Foundation. Bradley had suggested that we should have all members of the Interim Governance Committee sign the sponsorship agreement with the Software Freedom Conservancy, so I have also included spots for each name for signing the document at the end of the agreement. 2. Fees: I _believe_ we discussed this at the last Governance Committee meeting, but don't see it in the minutes - did we agree to directing 10% of project revenues to the Conservancy for the purposes of offsetting their overhead (banking, bookkeeping, reporting, etc)? There had been suggestions that Georgia and Michigan were willing to contribute the proceeds from their respective conferences to the Conservancy, but as we don't expect to be rolling in revenue for the foreseeable future, I think we had agreed to the standard (for umbrella organizations) 10% fee structure, which would leave 90% of the conference proceeds to be directed (if necessary) towards some greater good of the project. I also seem to recall that we would revisit the percentage after some period of time - certainly after we finalize and adopt our official rules of governance. 3. Representation of the Project to the Conservancy: At the last Governance Committee meeting, we agreed to have Elizabeth McKinney, Galen Charlton, and Dan Scott represent the Evergreen project to the Conservancy (that is, have the power to direct project funds to be used in some way). We also agreed that these representatives would consult with the Governance Committee. I've written that two of the three representatives need to consent to a particular direction to the Conservancy (giving us the ability to avoid paralysis in the short term if one of the representatives is incapacitated for some reason; presumably this section would be rewritten to change the representatives' names in the longer term in that scenario). **QUESTION**: There have been some members of the Interim Governance Committee that have been inactive in the Governance process. Do we want to pare the list down? **ACTION**: The agreement calls for a primary mailing address for the Evergreen project. Suggestions? Georgia PINES?
