Alex and I have discussed this possibility and we are fine with broadcasting the match live. Since the expenses are out of my pocket so far, I want to be sure, and am responsible, so that the match conditions are not compromised. For example, comments should not be allowed to reach the participants so as to disturb them. Further, Mr. Yermolinsky would prefer that he play over a board, rather than at a computer screen; so that is an accomadation that we intend to meet. You certainly may talk to whomever you feel would have an interest in facilitating the match to be broadcast live over the internet. I would like some modest renumeration for conducting a match with so strong an opponent. I know that the ICC has different cost structures for different levels of GM entertainment. It is important that the cost of the match which I am responsible for be offset to the extent that is reasonable. Given those conditions I would happy to receive your help. Regards, Matt Frank
