I am pretty sure I clearly expressed that I would push this forward in
the BOD. I have done so and we have been discussing it. In our
discussions all the board members have made their opinion known but
not everyone has officially voted. I hope we can get all votes in my
tomorrow. It is the holidays, only a few days from Christmas, and I
think you ask too much for 5 people in 4 different time zones to
discuss and make a decision quickly in a matter that has been in
contention for weeks.

I think the main issue in contention after all this discussion is
whether you are asking for a guarantee that fliers you designed will
be printed, even if the design is unacceptable. Since in recent emails
you have repeatedly said there is no risk, then I would think not. In
other words I really think we have all been wasting time here. Plus I
seriously doubt your design will be unacceptable so I don't think that
should be such a concern from the Haiku, Inc side.
It really is sort of like a programmatic deadlock: Jorge waits on
Haiku, Inc approval before working on flier design, Haiku, Inc waits
on Jorge design before approval, DEADLOCK!
