Subject: Fwd: OASIS and OMF
Hi Scott and Cathie,I wanted to follow-up on my email about the Compiler contracts and wanting to find a way for the OMF to sign our own contracts going forward. Having given this some more thought I wanted to make a few suggestions as we reach the annual renewal period of our agreement, especially as we look to sign agreements in the near future with the 8 cities for the SMART Grant Collaborative, along with the two new contract employees paid for by the grant proceeds we will receive from the cities.1. Update the Master Services Agreement between the OMF and OASIS so its reflects our current OMF name and under my signature. The existing agreement still reflects the OMF as the OASIS Open Development Foundation, which causes confusion with OASIS Open. Based on the signature on the doc I am not clear who signed for the OMF at the time.2.ÂAlign the FaaS fee annual payment with the OMF and OASIS fiscal year. This will mean accounting for approximately 6 months between June and December this year before the fiscal year and FaaS fees start again on January 1 2024. Also since our revenues are now consistently over $625K annually can we move to a pure 8% model instead of the lump sum $50K forÂrevenue up to $625K and 8% after? I think this will make it a bit easier for both sides forÂaccountingÂpurposes.ÂÂIt would mean we would simply pay 8% to OASIS for each payment received by the OMF.Â4. Allow the OMF to sign our own contracts. Since we are legally and fiscally fire-walled from OASIS Open it would make our operations and relationships with contractors simpler and clearer to sign our own contracts. I would like to be in a position to sign the contracts with cities for the SMART Grant Collaborative agreements and the two associated contract employees.5. OMF hold ownership and access controls to the SaaS services/accounts we pay for. This will avoid the situation we recently found with Google. We will still provide access to OASIS where necessary, but the OMF will provide access to the services we use and pay for instead of the other way around.I sent a meeting request for us to connect on the timing of the SMART Grants and I hope we can discuss these requests as well. I am happy to find more time if we think we will need it.On the grant timing - I had a call with USDOT yesterday and was told grant agreements are going out to cities starting this week. This is really good news. The cities canât make payment to the OMF for the Collaborative services until they have grant agreements signed and in place. At this rate I would expect the OMF to have agreements with the cities by early September.Thanks to you both!Cheers,AGHAndrew Glass Hastings
