Eh?

Thank you Patrick. I think this means that I've seen both you and Sergey agree to this. I think its up to you and Sergey to agree how best to get this document done. However, Sergey's suggestion of keeping it simple (email format?), focussing on the core agreements/issues, and starting from Pat's recent email, which is neutral territory, might permit a faster and more interactive evolution of a proposal/agreement. Can both you and Sergey make the half hour after this Friday's telecon to work out how to get this done? Time is critical here. >I'm travelling for the remainder of the week, but could have that >done for sure by start of business Monday, EST. Bummer. Which week? Will you have email? >How does that sound? In general, encouraging. Brian
