We could recover an April version of the document from GitHub:
https://github.com/OpenChain-Project/Reference-Material/tree/master/Guides/Official/OpenChain-and-Procurement-Departments

I have taken that document and incorporated the feedback I could find in emails. If you could take a moment to review the OpenChain-and-Procurement-Departments-Beta2 to provide feedback it would be super. Attached for reference though edits preferred here:

(Yes, I will be backing this up offline frequently)

My apologies everyone for this interruption to our workflow and contribution process.

Regards

Shane

PS: Alex, can you go back to the historic news post on OpenChain in Procurement and change the (old, dead) link to:
