>> I will speak with Jeff on Monday. I had already asked Assanis to decide on a date to present the latest iteration of their plans and to schedule a weekly meeting going forward. I had asked him to come back with specifics regarding space and available budget for staffing etc... They clearly want us to make the first ask as if this was a negotiation. I fully understand that everything is a negotiation, but it's hard to negotiate when the following are the facts :

>> Hunter - Hopefully UD will get back to us soon so that we can make our plans. We need to confirm space and funds available for salaries … and those new drapes that JRB will want in his office. xoxo avbo
