This is quite normal in many contexts. We simply have to tell them that we have a serious plan for a possible conference within the boundaries of the canton. We can show them the proposed contract (without signatures) from Le Camp to show that we have researched everything thoroughly and can really proceed if they give us funding. >> I would also suggest that if we sign the Le Camp contract, we put in a >> clause that says it is conditional on the sponsorship - so we can abort >> the contract without penalty if the sponsorship does not eventuate. >> > Would be nice but would you accept such a contract if you were in the > shoes of the manager of "Le Camp" ? > I would be more than happy to accept such a contract if I was in his shoes - but I would probably insist that there is a deadline of January or February for the conclusion of conditional funding agreements. That way all parties can walk away without major loss to seek alternatives if the funding solution doesn't work. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
