Something to consider is that Kantara would incur fixed costs such as AV, food & beverage, internet fees. We would also enter into a sponsor agreement that would involve some marketing support in exchange for having Kantara Initiative as an organization sponsor.</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know at your convenience of your groups interest.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Dervla</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px; "><div><font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt; ">________________________<br></span></font><font size="2"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Dervla O’Reilly<br>Program Manager</span></font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Kantara Initiative</span></font></font></div><div><font size="2"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">+1 415 731 4487 business<br>+1 415 948 3650 mobile<br>+1 509 757 4487 fax<br>dervla[at]kantarainitiative[dot]org</span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><a href="http://www.kantarainitiative.org">http://www.kantarainitiative.org</a></span></font></div></span></div></div> </div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
