Hi Olof<br><br>Thank you for turning this draft contract around so promptly. I am extremely impressed, as ever.<br><br>Lynn - I'll leave it to you to review the exhibits. The draft terms look fine to me - albeit it does read a little like the sort of pre-nuptial agreement Henry VIII would have written!<br>
<br>Anyway, let's press on.<br><br>I'm happy for them to report to myself and Kathy, but would like Lynn to be nominated as the project manager - ie day to day contact (I'm not sure if that's project sponsor, I think it is). Olof, thanks for pushing the preferred delivery date of 19 September.<br>
Kathy, Lynn if you have any comments on the contract, please would you send them in TODAY, so that we can keep the momentum flowing.<br><br>Kind regards, and thanks again.<br><br>Emily<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 19 August 2011 16:51, Olof Nordling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:olof.nordling@icann.org">olof.nordling@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Please find attached the draft contract for User Insight, Inc., in ICANN format. It was sent as draft today to the company for their review and approval, while highlighting that a contract should be agreed upon by Tuesday 23 August.<u></u><u></u></p>
