It is so easy to think this was simple and why did it take so long. It just did. From October 1st 2011, through two legal drafts, the involvement of staff and trustees over two continents, countless meetings, phone calls and emails, it all took time.
Let's be happy we got there and toast the success. But please let's move on and make QRpedia work.

It seems to me that "...included a delay in accepting the donation of the intellectual property of QRpedia..." is more accurate; or perhaps "..included a dispute among trustees over whether to accept the donation of the intellectual property of QRpedia..."

Neither of those statements would be at all accurate.
That's how the Compass report reads to me, but of course you have the advantage of involvement in those discussions.
'Protracted negotiation about the donation of QRpedia' might be a better
way of phrasing it.
Better, I suppose, but might that still seem to reflect unfairly in Roger and Terence?
