Hi, I heard back from the consultant who is talking to other perspective clients and may soon become unavailable for at least part of the time we're trying to contract him for.  He's a an expert in a smallish field and in high demand.  Is there anything I can do to help speed things along to get his contract signed?

My questions/comments
1)  Is HR working on a contract? - they should be
2)  this is a must have
3)  this is a no brainer as we are backfilling Matt Larrain

let me know how I can help...otherwise I'm going to assume we are doing this and you guys simply need to push to get it done.

Legal has approved the contract (bug 817068).  It needs to be signed by matthew once the PO is approved.  

I think that bug 817173 is the one for the PO (the form I filled out opened a bunch of bugs without clear explanation of what, if anything I needed to do with them all)?  Maya commented in that bug saying that she was getting something to you, Jim.  I also just left her voice mail to confirm that there's nothing needed from me there (and if there is, I'll do that asap).

Security is reviewing the SOW in bug 817147.
