I for one and happy with this.

A few questions / points:

1 - what are the commercial terms on this such as payment dates and day rates? We should ask for some money (40% or so) up front, if possible.
2. - As we discussed on the phone yesterday, I'm happy to work on the licensing bits for 2-4 days worth of work at my non-profit rate.  So I'm declaring my financial interest in this project in reference to the guidelines we discussed at our last board meeting.
3. I note that the TOR has down attendance at a meeting in Oxford on the 23rd of March -- I have a scheduling clash that day.  Not sure if that meeting needs me, just if it does, I won't be able to make that day.

Thanks!
