[Uni-verse] PCC Meeting

[Lauri Savioja]

Dear all,

I remember that I already agreed on the proposal to fund the Orange
movie. I am not about to change this decision, but as a kind remark I
would like to mention that I don't fully agree with the definition of
"four large" partners. I had a quick look on the Technical Annex and
according to that I would like to categorize us as:

Three large partners (total eligible costs and new MMs in parenthesis):

FHG/IGD (1 042 keuros, 67MMs)
II	(  683 keuros, 77MMs)
KTH	(  504 keuros, 81MMs)

Two medium sized partners:

Blender (  303 keuros, 33MMs)
HUT	(  284 keuros, 42MMs)

Two small partners:

Paregos	(   94 keuros, 6MMs)
Minusplus ( 62 keuros, 7MMs)

So, my point is: is the division of costs to equal percentages 
fair? If someone proposes to share the costs in relation to the
received EC contributions (different figures than the ones I show
above), I won't object that :-).

See you tomorrow,
	Lauri
