We would like to replace the eBay search plugin with GittiGidiyor for Turkish Firefox. http://www.gittigidiyor.com is 93% owned by eBay, works pretty much the same way as eBay, and is very popular in Turkey. I have talked to GittiGidiyor they are willing to make a search partnership deal in principle. It would be great if we can introduce them to the partnership team for details.
Joanne, do you think you can help us with this request, considering also the relation with eBay?

Sure, let me review the eBay agreement to see if subsidiaries or affiliates apply. I'll try to get back to you by end of day tomorrow. If it does not, then I'll ask for an intro to the GittiGidiyor team. Thanks, Joanne

Following up, according to the agreement, we have the right to include eBay, but they will not pay us for this locale. Selim, would be able to send an email introduction to Bryan Clark and I? Thanks! Joanne
Thanks, Joanne. Email sent to you, Bryan Clark, and my two contacts from GittiGidiyor.
Joanne, do we have an update on this?
Hi Selim, I never received a response to my email: From: Joanne Nagel [mailto:jnagel@mozilla.com] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 3:00 PM To: Arslan, Burak; Fedar, Feyza Cc: clarkbw@mozilla.com; Selim Şumlu Subject: RE: Introduction to Mozilla search partnership Hi Burak, I met with Karen Chu this week and she did clarify that although GittiGidiyor is a subsidiary of eBay, our current agreement would not include this territory and we would need to forge a separate agreement. Our current relationship is based on a bounty for sales as well as new registered users. How would you like to proceed – are you interested in a similar arrangement? Thanks, Joanne
We've tried reaching Burak twice, but haven't heard back from him. Closing this as WONTFIX with the possibility of reopening.
