Planning For The New Year

Given that it’s the New Year it seems an appropriate time to identify “where we are at” with the matters that we’re currently involved in.

 

  1. The System
  2. Deskview Acquisition
  3. Webex (super ttcglobal talk) development
  4. tcPresenter development
  5. Jerry Brower project
  6. Richard (Panama)
  7. Google “flip” project (ttcpresenter etc)
  8. Veretekk
  9. Non Disclosure Agreements
  10. Personal Resources And Meetings

 

I’d like us 3 Amigos to discuss the following matters/ points.

 

The System

 

  • What is required to complete the system (time, money, content, support, technical).

 

Deskview Acquisition

 

  • Is the acquisition and the (current) strategy to acquire Deskview still going ahead? If so, where are we up to with this, and what needs to happen next?
  • If (above) answer is “Yes”, then Jim, Carolyn and Neal are expecting contracts from us.  Where is Kurt’s Attorney at with drawing up these contracts and when can we read them?
  • Is there still a pre-qualified buyer for Deskview (as previously indicated by Kurt)?
  • Can we as a group agree that our acquisition of Deskview is crucial, because it’s integral to the success of the above projects.

 

WebEx Competitor Conferencing System

 

  • Tim, where is this at and what needs to happen to complete its development (time, resources, money, support, technical).

 

TCpresenter

 

  • Tim, where is this at and what needs to happen to complete its development (time, resources, money, support, technical).

 

Jerry Brower Project

 

  • We made a commitment to help Jerry Brower many months ago.  Where are we up to with this?  What needs to happen to honor our contracted commitment (time, resources, money, support, technical)?

 

Panama

 

  • Where is this at and what needs to happen to complete the corporate structure here (time, money, legal).
  • What is the legal entity we (as the 3 Amigos) need to use for all business transacted by us.  When can we set that up? 

 

Google Flip Project

 

  • Where is this at and what needs to happen to complete this (time, money, content, resources, legal).  
  • How will offering Neal Chapman a lot of money for QStudio affect the acquisition of Deskview (of which he is now a corporate part)? Given previous experience do we trust him?
  • How concrete is this Google “flip” deal?
  • Is the potential return for this “flip-the-technology” project worth the effort here, given that the value of a technology is determined by its existing membership base and traffic to its system (more so than the technology that runs it)?

 

Veretekk

 

  • In light of the recent state of affairs where is this at and what approach do we need to collectively take to resolve this?  
  • Our collective involvement with Veretekk (the VT competition, vereconference etc) seems to be a complete distraction from matters more important to us as a group. Is there a way we can disengage from Veretekk, and thus negate these distractions?   

 

Non-Disclosure Agreements

 

  • We’ve had a number of incidences where people have not respected our non-disclosure agreements (and these are the ones we know about). This disrespect of NDA’s has negatively impacted on our strategies to acquire Deskview, and have harmed our relationship with Veretekk.  This has cost us an unnecessary amount of time and effort in damage control.
  • In light of the above experiences (in future) can we as a group be in unanimous agreement about the issuing of NDA’s before NDA’s are issued, or other people are made privy to what is essentially 3 Amigo business only.

 

Personal Resources And Meetings

 

  • Where are we at with the investors? Current status.
  • As we all have other jobs we are all doing other things to “put food on the table”.  The amount of activity we can commit to has limitations. Can we as a group identify ways our current multiple responsibilities can be better managed, and/ or resourced.
  • We discussed meeting in San Diego (and then Mississippi) late last year to have a week long “face to face” workshop to work of these matters out. Is this still on the agenda?
  • Daily meetings (with Agendas) to discuss strategy as a team
