The MOU is only a framework.  The real work will fall to the fundraising 
committee.  We are yet to have any discussion about how that will work. 
  I refer you all back to Brendan's post of last October and the minutes 
of the 17 December meeting (part 2).

In my opinion, it doesn't matter who signs the MOU, as long as they are 
prepared to exercise their obligation under clause 9, that is, to 'use 
their best endeavours to ensure that the Koha community establishes a 
Fundraising Committee.'  Its ridiculous that it needs another meeting. 
I propose that anyone committed to clause 9 can and should sign the MOU.

I'd urge everyone to support Brendan in getting this thing done.
