[Cidrz] [ict4dclass] finalizing outstanding deliverables

[Daniel Myung]

Andres, Gari,

to clarify, I think the plan is for cidrz to foot the big parts of the bill,
airfare, and housing accomodations.  the housing big might be along the
lines of shared accomodations with other interns or workers in the area.

I haven't talked to parham at length yet on what other level of funding they
are able to afford on this.  Zambia is actually very expensive for the per
diem cost for a traveler, so securing funding is certainly key.  I'll get
the conversation going w/ him to see what the exact agreements are going to
be.  if MIT can help offset some of it, that'd be great for CIDRZ, but like
you said Gari, the sticker shock from expected value might make even that
tricky.  Necessary, but tricky.
