various q contract documents

so recently there has been discussion among scaa consumer members about the proposed new way to trade specialty coffee on the market, scaa chief ted lingle's so-called "q contract."

part of the solution to the world-price depression known as the coffee crisis will be to create a new market for specialty coffee and a new coffee contract that rewards and incentivizes quality.

aspects of the q contract plan are still being worked out. but for those who are interested in the general outlines at least as of 6 weeks ago, i'm posting some documents that will explain the idea generally:

q overview (ms word format)
q design (ms word format)
another q doc (ms word format)
still more on the q (ms word format)

there are still many questions about the q, and its effects on specialty are still being debated. its acceptance among roasters, green coffee importers, and the coffee-loving public is still unknown. . .
