RULES:

PART I

SIGNING BAD NDA'S UNDER PRESSURE CAN HAVE BAD CONSEQUENCES

.  consider ndas/mda1 and mda2

.  mda2 has been weakened in two places

.  for next tuesday, you may submit a revised version of mda2
	to any other team of your choice, so long as that team
	has not received any other mda's that day.

	you will create mda3 which weakens mda2 in exactly two
	places.  weakening should be incontrovertible and
	obvious to any careful reader.

	you should print (you may typeset) each agreement
	on a separate page.

.  the receiving team has exactly five minutes to choose to mda2 or
	your mda3.  if they can identify the weaker mda3, they will
	receive $5000 from the other team.  if they cannot identify the
	weaker mda3, and choose "to sign" mda2 instead, then you (your
	team) will receive $5000 from them.


PART II

WELL WORDED NDA'S CAN STRENGTHEN COLLABORATIONS!

.  consider ndas/nda1 and nda2

.  nda2 strengthens nda1 in two places.

.  for tuesday, each manager should print as many copies of this
	nda2 so that each of his/her workers can be given a copy
	(ACTUALLY I AM BRINGING THE COPIES -- DISREGARD THIS)

.  each employee will have 1 minute to alter the agreement 
	ONLY BY ADDING text, so as to weaken the requirements.

.  the manager will then have 5 minutes to respond to each amendment,
	by strenghtening the requirements, ONLY BY ADDING TEXT.

.  this process will be repeated twice.

.  at the end, all agreements come to the course instructor for
	valuation.  if they are interesting, they may be worth as
	much as $3000 to each party.  if they are uninteresting,
	they have no value.  interestingness is in the eye of the
	course instructor.
