Hi Jeffrey

The note seems reasonable to me. If we can have temporary space until we 
hear from TDF, this would be great.

HOWEVER, I don't think that you could say that this is on behalf of the 
Foundation as we have not been recognized officially by anyone at the 
Foundation. We are just seeking workspace for our project temporarily 
until such time as our project is officially  recognized by the 
Foundation and that arrangements be made to supply ISO space on TDF servers.

Cheers

Marc
