saying the contract is effective when i haven't receive any
money to start milestone 1. I was mailed by SFC to sign some
documents and i did! I was told that the contract is still
pending because of Adam signature. Also Adam what sorts of
document can i make public to the community. For me i don't know
why is the payment still pending! it is over two months now!

To clarify, Samson, Conservancy couldn't start the process of
issuing payment until we had an agreement in place. You signed your
agreement on June 30; Karen Sandler counter-signed on July 7, after
which I routed the agreement to Accounting for processing. Rest
assured that your initial payment is in the queue. <br>
<br>
It's my understanding that it is industry standard for organizations
and businesses to operate on a"NET-30" basis, i.e., an entity is
expected to issue payment within 30 days from the date of an
agreement and/or receipt of an invoice. We at Conservancy strive to
be quicker than that when bandwidth allows, but given that Bradley
(who operates as our part-time bookkeeper) has to provide support
multiple member projects, we tend to operate within the industry
standard. <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
