John:? I am thinking about how to?participate in the post-election period, consistent with deaning.? One option would be for me to ask Georgetown for a leave of absence (for six weeks or so) to devote full time to transition.?? I would be interested in doing this if?I could contribute in a meaningful way--perhaps beyond immigration issues, to include DOJ matters, thinking about judicial appointments, other policy areas?etc.? I would appreciate your thoughts and would be happy to talk if you have a moment.

I should make clear that I am not seeking and am not interested in an appointment in the new Administration.? I love my job as Dean--but I view the next few months as an important opportunity for public service.

Best
Alex
