FW: Veronique and Grant contract

Scott, Dee, Cathie:
Please see below. The Steering Committee included this in our budget planning for this year (approved March 25) and we noted that the documentation was coming along well in our status update on July 15). On September 29, during the financial status part of the meeting, we checked on when to expect invoices. Monica indicated that the LegalDocML TC was waiting for the final version of the documentation before approving the two invoices for Grant and Veronique. Apparently we missed the step to approve their contracts. Can we approve via email so that the contracts may be retroactive for the work that was done? Please advise.
Thanks, Laurel
