Steve,

I don't use a "delegate" context, but rather ask myself the question "what is my next task for this delegated project?" Often it will be to check back with the person, so:

1) I'll create an action that reads as "Ask Tom if he got a chance to make some progress on X". (and when possible a less generic version than that).

2) I'll use the start date on that next action to set when I should do it (2 days from now? 1 week from now?).

3) I'll put it in the context which is the most appropriate. If I communicate primarily by email with that person, it will go in the "Computer" context. If I get to talk pretty often with that person, it will go in a more specific context ("With Tom").
