hey mods,

Ian's going to start the process of contacting and interviewing law firms to represent the displaced that are adamant about participating in the study

here are the things he's going to ask them to help draft a contract on / the issues he wants them to represent for them:

-clear terms that all harvested organic material is the property of the participant of the study, but granting permission to Riverstone to complete a pre-approved list of tests they communicate in advance
-any genetic material has to either be returned or destroyed upon completion of the testing, and what exactly completion means
-PII needs to be considered confidential and shouldn't be stored by Riverstone beyond a specifically allotted time period after testing, with the exception probably being people still employed with the company
-we'd need some kind of statement on their security policies or data maintenance in the event that they're conveniently hacked
-we'd need an airtight nondisclosure agreement that includes our interests, not just theirs
-maybe some kind of declaration of intent with the stipulation that anything outside of the specified use cases be approved by all parties involved
-an agreement to release all findings to the participants of the study, or a specified list of contacts in the event that participant can't be located

He's made a post hoping to take up donations, but he's also willing to pay what he needs to initially to put someone on retainer. he's also going to shop around until he finds someone he feels like he can trust & who is competent.

+ an amendment from stephen

The negotiation of a requirement of written confirmation that they have evidenced information prior to any agreement to participate
