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.

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?
