Based on a Skype® call today with Christophe, there is reason for optimism. The Ipernity platform appears to remain viable with the new reality – decline in memberships since January and existing direct expenses, some of which can be reduced resulting in up to 5000 Euros of savings per year. We are awaiting further information.

It is anticipated IMA will receive firm numbers and copies of invoices regarding revenues, expenses and actual membership figures by the end of the week that hopefully confirms site viability.

Other topics such as contractual obligations (negligible aside from Amazon Cloud), network configuration and transfer logistics were also discussed. Also please be sure if IMA takes over the platform, all features including compatibility with mobile apps will remain.

Please know we do not take your donations and the responsibility thrust upon us lightly. If the site is viable with a bright long-term future we will enter into agreement with Ipernity S.A. early next week. If it is not viable or the long-term future remains uncertain, we will end the effort and return the donations. Disappointment alone is better than disappointment and loss of money.

If we enter into agreement to takeover the platform, please know the original 100K Euro revenue-sharing figure based on certain outcomes has been removed. This is a win for everyone here since it will allow this excess revenue to be invested into the site and give IMA flexibility to consider a reduction in membership dues.

Finality is near. A final Skype® call will be held early next week to conclude a deal one way or the other. We ask for a few more days of your patience even though the uncertainty has been very difficult and challenging. Most importantly, thank you for placing your trust in us to do the right thing with your words of encouragement, prayers and contributions.

TRADUCTION EN FRANCAIS :

Suite à un appel via Skype® ce jour avec Christophe, il y a lieu d'être optimiste. La plate-forme Ipernity semble rester viable avec la nouvelle réalité - la baisse des adhésions depuis janvier et les dépenses directes existantes, dont certaines peuvent être réduites ce qui donne jusqu'à 5000 Euros d'économies par an. Nous attendons d'autres informations.

Il est prévu qu'IMA recevra des numéros d'entreprise et des copies des factures concernant les revenus, les dépenses et les effectifs d'ici la fin de la semaine, ce qui confirme la viabilité du site.

D'autres sujets tels que les obligations contractuelles (négligeable en dehors d'Amazon Cloud), la configuration du réseau et la logistique de transfert ont également été discutés. Soyez assurés également que si IMA prend en charge la plate-forme, toutes les fonctionnalités, y compris la compatibilité avec les applications mobiles, seront conservées.

Sachez que nous ne prenons pas à la légère vos dons et la responsabilité qui nous incombe. Si le site est viable avec un brillant avenir à long terme, nous conclurons un accord avec Ipernity S.A. début de la semaine prochaine. Si elle n'est pas viable ou si l'avenir à long terme reste incertain, nous allons mettre fin à l'effort et retourner les dons. La déception seule vaut mieux que la déception et la perte d'argent.

Si nous concluons un accord pour prendre le contrôle de la plate-forme, sachez que le chiffre d'origine de 100 000 euros de partage des recettes en fonction de certains résultats a été supprimé. C'est une victoire pour tout le monde ici, car elle permettra à ce revenu excédentaire d'être investi dans le site et de donner IMA de la flexibilité pour envisager une réduction des cotisations.

La finalité est proche. Un appel final via Skype® aura lieu au début de la semaine prochaine pour conclure un accord d'une manière ou d'une autre. Nous vous demandons encore quelques jours de patience, même si l'incertitude a été très difficile à supporter. Plus important encore, merci de nous avoir fait confiance pour faire ce qu'il faut faire et pour vos paroles d'encouragement, de prières et vos contributions.
