> 2) Such a letter could also be addressed to Burisma directly and publicly

> 3) Facilitating concrete meetings of Burisma officials with the US
> officials and US officials with Ukrainian ones with regard to Burisma, etc.
> 4) Organizing and facilitating meetings of Burisma officials with
> Ukrainian government.
> 5) Putting on the website a part of your report about the meetings and
> going public with that for PR purposes.

> As to the FTI, a communication plan that was presented to us by the FTI is

> appear in the next engagement period and that could be done in a form of
> publications/interviews/articles/op-eds, etc. either on behalf of Burisma
> or with its key officials.
> 2) The suggested communication plan could be made less broad, more to the
> point and substance-oriented, since as of today it looks like a
> fully-fledged PR company, and what we're looking for  is a concrete
> short-term action plan.
