Hi Nick, Xavier and Ethan,</div>

I had only one and I assume that was Xavier. I haven't heard anything further from my contacts but can try again.</div>

Any other possibilities, Ethan?</div>

doing the project justice within the time and budget constraints.<br>
<br>
Candidly - was the larger issue time? or budget?<br>
<br>
If budget: would extra paid time over the next three weeks make any<br>
difference to your decision or that of your contacts, below?<br>
<br>
If it was mainly an issue of time; let me confirm that:<br>
<br>
- the amount of draft words done is completely flexible, just something<br>
to start the conversations on the anniversary dinner night, Saturday<br>
2024-09-21.<br>
<br>
- we have no problem at all if you need to head off for a bit on<br>
2024-09-22 as you mentioned; and then come back when you're ready<br>
to help us incorporate any interviews from that anniversary dinner,<br>
by when we'll have all the video transcribed for you.<br>
