Purpose of this meeting

You've been through this before: we should work towards to a Memorandum of Understanding that includes a concrete project plan with pertinent milestones. Since you know what to expect, you can already start working on the plan. Note that the final amount of the grant will be determined in dialogue with you, also taking into account any new insights during the negotiations.

We at NLnet Foundation are very much looking forward to continue working with you, together with our partners in NGI Assure - which are different from the ones in NGI Zero. We will tell you more about during our upcoming call, and you will also find the key information in the attached document.
