This is a fiscal sponsorship to the tune of $30k...that is a significant<br>financial relationship you are proposing.<br><br>It's a good thing we have started developing a framework for this, from<br>Noisetor. We made Noisetor creators jump through a bunch of hoops to<br>make sure that we have a sound agreement regarding the financial<br>obligations incurred in such a relationship.<br><br>I think it's pretty important to hammer out that kind of agreement.<br><br>If the tone of the discussion next week is good, it probably could be<br>done in parallel with your letter of intent, as long as you are under<br>the understanding that the sponsorship may not be approved if consensus<br>is not reached.<br><br>Please check out the noisetor wiki page if you need a starting point for<br>what kind of agreement i am talking about. Even trusted longstanding<br>members of the community can become a little lax in fulfilling their<br>obligations, and for
everyone's peace of mind it's important to spell<br>out what those obligations are ahead of time.<br><br>R.<br><br><br>On 11/23/2011 2:30 PM, Rubin Abdi wrote:<br>> Hi Walter.<br>> <br>> Last night at the meeting you wanted to talk about your project and this<br>> letter of intent to be indorsed by Noisebridge.
