The three AMSAT organizations will closely coordinate their activities \n> and monitor progress of the project by frequent mutual consultations on the \n> telephone. To this end the three parties will hold nominally a monthly \n> telephone conference to review the status of the project and to identify \n> problem areas. At this time the three organizations will be represented by \n> Rick, Jim and Peter at these telephone-conferences.\n>\n> 2. According to need, the three organizations agree to hold sufficiently \n> frequent meetings in person to review the project status. These meetings are \n> assumed to be desirable with a frequency of 6-12 month between them.\n>\n> 3. It is understood by all three organizations that procuring a timely \n> launch for P3-E is one of the bigger challenges of the project. AMSAT-DL is \n> concentrating major efforts of procuring a launch with Arianespace, while AMSAT-\n> NA is trying to develop a launch opportunity within the USA. All parties \n> recognize that major progress in funding is contingent on a firm launch \n> agreement. All parties further recognize that a timely construction and \n> integration of P3-E is critically dependent on all parties giving highest \n> priority to fulfilling their respective commitments.\n>\n> 4. All three organizations understand that funding progress is dependent on \n> effective information dissemination worldwide. To this end the three \n> organizations reiterate their mutual agreement that each organization can \n> publish all P3-E related publications of the other two organizations in their \n> respective public organs without special permission. Furthermore, each \n> organization is free to prepare 'official' statements about the project, but \n> these publications must be agreed with the project management of P3-E (AMSAT- \n> DL) prior to publication. Requests for agreement to publish will be sent to \n> Peter (or another person chosen by him), who will use best efforts to respond \n> within 7 days with an answer. With other publications by individual authors no \n> such agreement is necessary provided that the context makes it is clear that \n> the publication is not an official declaration by the project management or \n> AMSAT-DL.\n>\n> 5. AMSAT-DL reiterates that the operational use of P3-E will be primarily to \n> provide amateur radio communication services. But all parties also understand \n> that the spacecraft is a dual service satellite, and that AMSAT-DL retains the \n> right to occasionally reduce the provision of amateur radio services if work \n> towards P5-A requires this.
