I certainly can call and ask him. Worth a try! And if he won't, I bet
Roland Fryer would.

Ann, what do you think?  I think he was leery of formal affiliation.

Looks pretty good.  Will Raj Chetty sign on?

John,

Following up from our discussion this morning.  Here is a list of Econ
advisors that we could announce around the time we launch the working group
structure.

Neera Tanden, Gene Sperling, Jacob Hacker, Eduardo Padron, Teresa
Ghilarducci, Alan Krueger, Alan Blinder, Byron Auguste, Christina Romer,
Gary Gensler, Laura Tyson, Austan Goolsbee, and Heather Boushey.

What do you think of this list/approach?

Aside from the Econ question and the couple of suggestions you provided me,
are you good with the rest of the list that you viewed this morning so we
can start reaching out?

Thanks,

Ed

John,

Attached is the proposed list of leadership for the policy working groups
for your review.  You can click on each name and it will take you straight
to the person's bio on the internet.

Each policy group will be managed by a Coordinator (or co-coordinators) who
will lead the operations of the group and serve as the primary liaison with
the policy team.  Additionally we will have 2-4 Senior Partners per group
who are high level notable policy leaders in their field.  The Senior
Partners will join the monthly calls and work with the coordinators to
provide overall strategic direction for the group.

We have held off on reaching out to most of the Domestic and Econ leaders
until you review and provide feedback.  Please let us know if there are
particular groups that you would like to weigh in on specifically.  We have
started discussions with many of the Foreign Policy group leaders and have
received positive responses.

Next Steps:

   1. You review the list and flag any questions, concerns, or
   recommendations.
   2. Policy will circulate the list to senior staff leadership for a quick
   review for any major political red flags (All the proposed Coordinators and
   Senior Partners have been vetted or are currently being vetted).
   3. Policy will send a brief memo to Secretary Clinton outlining the
   working group process and attach the leadership list.
   4. Start launching the groups as early as next week.

Thank you,

Ed
