Terms of employment.
Little Red Hens.
The draft program for the LETSystem Vancouver clearly shows that
no money is available until it is available.
Only by generating 5,000 business accounts at $200 each will we
produce the budget requirement.
Hence we are definitely talking payment by results and it is to
be hoped that this will effectively sort the sheep from the
goats.
Unless you are confident that this whole program is entirely
realistic, or can afford to write off the time and energy if no
funds emerge, then don't even think of applying.
This bandwagon is for little red hens only.
Evident committment.
Landsman cannot afford to involve people in this process who are
not entirely clear about their committment.
Nothing is quite so discouraging as finding the troops deserting
at the first whiff of grapeshot.
Pure speculation.
Landsman will undertake specific contracts to pay its'
contributors from generated revenues only.
It could place the entire operation in jeopardy to undertake
specific payment schedules and then find time lags in the cash
flow.
It is probable that funds can in fact be generated to match the
requirements of the participants, either through actual sales or
through the enlightened support of some venture capital group,
but no reliance can be placed on this conjecture.
Hence Landsman will only promise payment on realisation of
revenue, and only people who are comfortable with this should
consider involvement.

Gideon.
This recruitment process resembles Gideon's troop selection
prior to the battle with the Midianites, (see Judges Chpt 7.)
Contributions acknowledged.
The cash and green payments made to persons contracting with
Landsman will be augmented by two bonus issues of "shares" in
Landsman.
One issue of 100,000 will be distributed amongst participants on
the basis of performance up to the end of the development period.
Bonus.
A further 100,000 will be allocated one year later when further
assessments can be made of the actual effect of particular
initiatives.
People who appreciate all aspects of the program should have
little difficulty in recognising the likely future value of the
"shares".
For those who do not the point is irrelevant.
Hence the total deployable resources of the program exceed the
basic $1 Million by a considerable amount.
Conservatively, we anticipate approximately 400 person months of
applied energy at a median payment of $2,500 per month plus
"shares", and expect to complete this program within 6 months.
Fringe Benefits.
The little red hens who do the job will of course not be limited
to this effort, and will no doubt be able to implement almost all
the useful aspects of the prototype operation in their own
communities.
A spinoff benefit of their contribution to Landsman's efforts is
thus the enhanced development of their own LETSystem and the
satisfaction and recompense therefrom.
Qualifications.
Landsman will not consider applications from persons who are not
seriously engaged in LETSystems development in their own
community.
Persons who are thus qualified will often be the initiators of
registered LETSystems, and will certainly be active members of
their local operation.
