Hi Gordon!

I am pleased to offer you employment with Mail Abuse Prevention
System LLC on the following terms.

You will be the MAPS DUL Project Manager.  As such you will be
responsible primarily for the management of the MAPS DUL.  To the
extent management and operation of the DUL does not require your
full-time attention, we ask that you work with Peter Popovich, MAPS
Principal Investigator, in handling RBL nominations and
investigations.  We also ask that you assist with the MAPS TSI
project as your time permits.  There may also be occasional,
incidental projects we may ask you to undertake from time to time;
for example, to assume responsibility for managing PGP keys for the
MAPS project.

We're offering an initial salary of US$45,000 per year.  We ask that
you seek the advice of your banking institution for their
recommendations on remitting payments to you.  We are prepared to
write checks in US$ or we can make deposits directly to your bank.
We are also willing to consider alternative methods recommended by
your bank.

We are willing to cover dental insurance premiums on your behalf upon
presentation of a resonable proposal.

Please note that this is a salaried, managerial position, and thus is
considered exempt under the US Fair Labor Practices Act.  This means
that you are not entitled to overtime payment for working more than
40 hours per week.  We consider this a "full time" position with
responsibilities that do not always fall into a regular schedule and
a 40-hour work week.

We understand that you have made certain other commitments which may
require some of your time until April 2000.  We acknowledge these
commitments and have no objection to your fulfilling those
commitments so long as it does not interfere with your
responsibilities to MAPS.

It is our anticipation that your employment by MAPS will commence on
January 1, 2000.

I believe that covers the essential points, but please do not
hesitate to let me know if there is anything I have overlooked.  Once
I have received your acceptance of this offer message, I will proceed
with preparation of the even more formal offer letter our attorney
has prepared for us.

Regards,

Nick

PS:  t-shirts -- 2 XXLs and 5 XLs; I haven't heard back from Sean
yet, but I'll include him in an addendum!  ;-)
