So... with the above being said, here are my thoughts:
The contract probably shouldn't be signed until there are better
guarantees of funding. This doesn't have to be sponsorship acquired,
or money in the bank, but at least talking to some of the foundations
to make sure we aren't too late, we meet criteria, there is a
possibility to get to the range of money we need...
Alternatively, we could form a preliminary agreement that doesn't have
any deadlines, and le camp recognizes could be walked out on if we
needed to. This would understandably not be good from their
perspective.
And still, we should look at other more flexible options, to keep many
paths open so that we can reduce prices later, when we need to.
There are of course other things to do, but this is my personal
summary (of things that I can think of in a limited time).
