I agree on Dan -- I will see if he can take the time and the ethics rules.  Ernie as an adjunct is good idea.  thanks.

This feels a little thin.  I think I'd keep Reicher on.  I would also think very seriously about using Ernie Moniz, at least as an adjunct.  I think the issues about how to structure technology are very important and not easy and I think Ernie has a good feel for them.  Oriented quite a bit in the direction of John and Deutch on need to move demonstration project phase out of DOE -- for specific reasons he discussed with us today.

All - 

Sandalow is prepared to take a leave of absence and step into the lead for the Energy and environment policy group.  I think going forward a strong team would be Sandalow and Joe Aldy - PhD economist from RFF  who has been great (I have not spoken with him about a leave of absence).  I assume one of the Heathers.  And then I would like to add two younger folks who can just get things done - research, writing, etc.  One is a campaign volunteer, served on the energy policy team, worked for the Chicago mayor previously; is currently at McKinsey - he is of Indian decent.  The other is  a woman lawyer at Latham that use to work for me; she also did press at the State Department before going to law school.  She has done the background work for the energy and environment EO proposals.  

That would give us a total of five - 3 men - one of color and 2 women.  Not sure how many need to get paid.  Let me know what you think.  

Following up on the EPA conversation.  Frances is a very good idea - particularly since "minding" our environmental friends will be challenging.  Also the African American woman from NJ that we discussed for EPA #2 was just named Corzine's  COS.  Although she is telling folks her first hope is to be #1 at EPA.  Not sure she knows climate but could get that expertise through the #2, e.g.   

Thanks, Carol
