I'm not sure why you've attached your top-posted comment to my post; but to be clear; my purpose is not to apportion blame, nor to make criticisms I'm interested in correcting a false impression that has been given in the media of a dispute which did not occur. I'm delighted - and relieved - that agreement to transfer ownership of QRpedia has been reached, and have been calling for that for sometime. However, I don't wish to "move on" until reasonable efforts have been made to correct the aforesaid false impression.Your support in this endeavour would be welcome.

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?
