I'll write the deck, you call Rob and Devon sends the Invoice - and we are
done!

Devon usually skips the first two steps and just sends the invoice - his way
of boosting profitability!

We can talk to Hunter about this but that would probably be Rob Norton.
We'll have to develop a couple of options in our proposal (or as a backup).

Agreed.  Don't want to increase expectations because they may come back and
not be willing to pay us what a project of this magnitude would cost, BUT
Bill Deeb has always been a fairly straight shooter and he said to me that
Mrs. Storz has the money if she thinks it is worthwhile.  I think the key
thing for them (particularly what excited Peter) is putting together a
worthwhile program that they could personally present to Bill Clinton and/or
Paul Farmer and looking to us to position them to do both.   I told Bill
Deeb that it would require 3-4 months of prep work at least before we got to
that point, but he understood that.

If we are to do this, I think it makes sense to talk to Rob Norton, our
friend who did CSR work for Pfizer and possibly outsource a little of it to
him.  He'd be a big help.

Subject: Haiti Opportunity - Karl Storz

Haven't really had an opportunity to brief Hunter and Devon on this but just
got off the phone with Bill Deeb at Karl Storz to talk further about our
meeting on Monday.

In short, the opportunity is very different than I envisioned going into
meeting.  It is less just a sales opportunity and more Storz wanting to be a
leader in the medical equipment community is disaster
perparedness/relief/reconstruction and looking for our help in putting the
program together and finding partners.

In our follow up call, Bill emphasized that he believes Mrs. Storz (and
Peter, her right-hand guy, who attended the meeting from Germany) were
serious about this and had a budget to match.

Bill envisioned building a consortium of medical equipment suppliers that
would have equipment available at a moments notice to ship to disaster
sites.  He saw each member of the consortium paying money into a fund which
would be managed (perhaps by us - my idea) in the interim and which would go
towards the relief efforts when necessary.

Hunter, this seems like it may be something to follow back up with Todd
McCormack on, particularly given his connections to Paul Farmer/Partners in
Health.

Anyway, let's discuss on our Monday call.

They are anxiously awaiting a proposal.
