The formal process likely to take place in August and we have started the process of coordinating with their team on next steps in Iowa.  The IAFF team will likely come up in July to meet the HRC policy team, per Schaitberger's request.  I will keep you posted as dates are requested to come to Brooklyn.

They have requested several future commitments that I have noted in the spreadsheet.  They are sincerely doing their best to manage the activists at the RA.  It only takes 50 signatures to raise a resolution on the floor and I have been warned about a Northeastern Sanders contingent.  I think it would be good to be organized on our own behalf with a few key folks in the room (NH and IA leaders) in case anything comes up.  I am a little nervous about this event.  That said, their steps are moving toward a October 2nd/3rd endorsement all going to plan.  I would love to know any thoughts on this you might have.

They are also voicing some Sanders concerns from board members that they are trying to manage.  I am working with Brynne on home care round table dates for New York with SEIU Intl/Local 1199.  SEIU Intl is happy to hear about this development today.
