Hi Jim, I've received your invoice for $10,625 and have a few questions. I find in the archives a SC vote [1] to approve use of your outstanding contracted service in support of Arizona in the amount of $6800. George's motion suggests further discussion/meeting if additional funding is necessary, but my quick review could not find record of that. Your message below suggests there is also work done for federal bankruptcy courts, but I can find no SC authorization for that work, or discussion of it in the ECF TC mail list. Pointers to the meetings, notes or emails would be appreciated. Following the routine for payment, and addressing some of the earlier concerns may I ask for: - A pointer to the deliverable from the work. It is important to demonstrate the value delivered to the LegalXML community for their expended dues. It will be useful to dispel any possible misperception that this is work serving one client or providing feedback that could/should come freely from the public comment component of the TC Process. - The minuted SC vote to accept the deliverable as what they asked for and representing fair value for their funding. Prior to that vote, I recommend you provide the SC a breakdown of how/where the work was expended to give them their comfort when voting for your payment. The exact nature of the documentation varies by project, but a simple guideline to observe is providing the level of detail you or your company would expect to answer the inevitable "what do I get for that much" questions before sending a $6-10k check. Thanks in advance, Scott... [1] http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/legalxml-sc/email/archives/201008/msg00007.html On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 11:04 PM, James E Cabral
