I'm thinking an initial conference call with Lyndon might be helpful , but I would see the process starting with Patty and you working with your counterparts in N.C. to develop an outline of a plan to bring D to L under the Beau Foundation. 
Outline should include plans for staff , finances/budget ( including plans for assuming any debt , lease agreements and ownership of assets ) , new board configuration , changes in management responsibilities and/ or job descriptions and plans for marketing the new team . 
Report should also provide rationale behind announcing the transaction as a "merger" or an "acquisition" ?
Once we have this information in hand the board sub committee would review/critique the report and most probably schedule a meeting with leadership from D to L -- maybe even schedule a trip to NC to see the operation first hand. 
Thoughts from other committee members ?

As Patty and I mentioned yesterday, there have been informal conversations we’ve both had with Lyndon Haviland, former CEO of D2L and a great friend of both of us and the BBF. I defer to folks with experience with these things, but it seems to me a good first step would be to connect you guys with Lyndon and have an initial conversation. In addition to being former CEO, she is currently a board member of D2L. Her bio is here: https://www.d2l.org/d2lgroups/lyndon-haviland-mph-drph/.
