Hi Kevin,

sure ... actually informing the Board was the first thing I did as I thought 
that's where it belonged and I was asked to bring it here.
But happy to open legal tickets for each agreement. That was the information I 
was looking for ;-)

    If the are agreements to agree to, I'd *strongly* recommend you get them
    reviewed by the legal committee before signing them.
    
    I'd give board@ a heads-up and time to comment first.
