Work with a suitably qualified attorney to craft simple teaming agreements to be published to the Project Catalyst community for free. 

To be Completed before Fund 8 finalise date. So, within 2 months.

Risks: 

Internal risks (within our team of two persons) to successful completion of this proposal are few and will be mitigated by signing our own project teaming agreement upon notice that the project has been approved for funding.

External risk would be not being able to find a suitably qualified attorney to act as our advisor. We already are acquainted with attorneys in several jurisdictions who we believe will work with us, for fees within the budgeted amounts.

Impact: Significant on the success of Project Catalyst, going forward as funding amounts get larger, to help proposal teams clarify relationships at the outset of their collaborative venture.

Scaleability: The templates can be used by all Catalyst proposing teams going forward. IOG estimates funding 2000 proposals. Experience shows at least a 5:1 proposals ratio to funded proposals. In addition the proposal teams can use the templates on other projects, perhaps in other similar environments as Catalyst.

Clarity / Auditability: Proof is in the templates we produce. Regular reports can include templates in progress.

Feasibility: A team of two is best. To ensure there are multiple views of the issues and solutions. Both of us are greybeards. Accustomed to working within informal arrangements. Each has seen and experienced plenty of situations where agreements helped minimise the impact of misunderstandings or helped mediators resolve issues to the satisfaction of all. We have worked together on several projects. Both have completed the requirements of the UNIC MSc in Digital Currencies.

KPI's: Produce one short form and one long form template in editable format. Open the templates to review by the community.

Budget: $3,000 for attorney fees. $1,000 each for two team members for two months.Total $7,000

Christophe Bosquillon - a blockchain and crypto MSc colleague of Leonard Delunas, sharing with Len decades of experience living and operating in the Indo-Pacific region. He's aware of political and socio-economic issues linked to predatory tourism and how value transfer models for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) end up creating issues for local revenues and taxations. Chris acquired a diverse and collaborative leadership experience in deal negotiation, management, FDI, private equity, primarily in extraction industries, and internationally. Based 80% in Asia as CEO, corporate director, government agency contractor, entrepreneur, Chris developed business, legal, tech, and governance architecture experience, that also included how logistics hard assets combined with digital transformation, disrupt rent-seeking models. Resided in the Japan-Korea-Taiwan-China area, extensively travelled in the West and South Pacific and Indian Oceans. Witnessed on the ground decades of socio-economic transformation: how above four countries travel agencies run their value extraction business models over territories of less dominant nations. How their affluent middle class spends money and makes payments. How their citizens adopted mobile digital payment and may spend even more if finding a right touristic fintech infrastructure locally. Chris focuses on business, legal, and tech problematics that start to occur when digital transformation disrupts value chains, value capture, and governance models. With a couple of MSc, an MBA degrees, and experience in government relations and the legislative and fiscal process of adapting sovereign and responsible states' FDI frameworks to disruptive technologies, Chris currently strengthens credentials in law and regulatory frameworks from digital transformation issues to new space economic development. That includes the redesign of value chains and fair governance, leveraging data-AI-DLT integration and legal engineering for more autonomy in decision making.
