FYI,

This is originally started from the CESAR context,
but I think this fits to JLSE.

I'm going to arrange a meeting with AMD if needed.
The machines are likely to be in the data center, so need a help from Ben.

Hi Kaz,

Last December we sent over the attached AMD hardware loan agreement form for your legal team to review. We would like to see if your legal team has been able to review the document and if we can move forward with getting an agreement in place. 

I copied Bill Brantley and Mike Schulte from AMD. Bill would like to send early access hardware to ANL and is motivated to help this process along. Could you keep him and Mike on the email CC line?

Best regards,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for sending the document,

Our legal group is reading the agreement right now.
They said because this is a loan agreement, we might need to
go through a procurement process.  We're figuring out it.
Could you please wait a little bit until those things get clear?
