Here's a very rough preliminary list - we could send this to WJC to elicit a first reaction on the level/kinds of people he'd like, unless you think we need to send a "final" list of recommendations. I'd welcome your feedback. Thanks, Ami

David Crane (WJC mentioned him last night)

A bank CEO (for financing expertise/support) - Chad Holiday? (Note that Holiday is UNSG's head of Energy Access for All effort)

CEO of IKEA or Wal-Mart or a large multinational / public-facing corporation

Helen Clark, UNDP (Europe/Gov/Funder/FEMALE)

Gro Harlem Brundtland (Europe/Gov/FEMALE)

Jose Maria Figueres (LatAm/Male) - also runs Carbon War Room

Felipe Calderon (LatAm/Male/soon-to-be former HoS/good on forestry, etc)

Lula (could help to have a Brazilian; he also would prioritize human impacts and real people)

Kevin Rudd (former Gov/Male) - smart on climate policy, knows Asia well

Kofi Annan (Africa, good on agriculture which is important component of climate efforts)

A leader from China

A former US Mayor or Governor or elected - Bob Gates, Dick Lugar, etc - Good to have a Republican

A university president

Judy Rodin

Mindy Lubbers (finance, and we need women in this group)

Another Foundation/philanthropist

Rick Fedrizzi for buildings

Lester brown or Amory lovins or Francis Beinecke

Peter Seligmann, who runs Conservation International

RK Pachauri (important to have South Asia represented given their contributions to change

Hal Harvey (not sure if a perfect fit but is a policy guy who's also pragmatic - and is plugged into funders, albeit not one himself anymore)

John,

You know this area much better than I do.  It would be helpful if you could review the list Ami has put together and add or delete names before we send it to President Clinton.
