Doug/Justin (and John):

Not sure where things stand in terms of folks feelings and willingness to
engage with WJC -- attached is a revised model memo based upon offering one
option and outlining the creation of a personal office paid for by WJC 100%
which acts as the interlocutor for his time regarding engagement with the
various entities and serve as advisors to him regarding what and how he
does things.  Each separate entity then would operate independently and
would engage the leadership of the personal office - a designated CEO or
COS who b/cs in effect what Doug and Justin have been de facto -- the
arbiter and decision-maker.  That person would have the benefit (if you two
choose) of Doug and Justin's best advice as consultants but ultimately
would be accountable for ensuring that the implementation of the
President's will occurs in the various entities and the various entities
would operate according to the time and engagement and direction as
necessary as the President gives.

See what you think.

This model would mean that all non-Foundation entities would no longer be
co-located with Foundation; that folks would be on a single payroll -
Foundation or personal.  Whatever rules the Foundation creates for folks
being able to earn outside income would apply equally (so e.g., if Bari is
on the Foundation payroll and Dorvir; and Ami is on Teno and  the
Foundation -- whatever rules there are for outside income would apply
equally to both of them as Foundation employees -- namely, if rule becomes
no outside income, then both have to stop doing anything except Foundation
to stay on Foundation payroll; if rule is you can earn outside income as
long as it is disclosed and approved by the Board, that becomes the
applicable rule; etc. - you get the pix).

It's easiest for me if folks sent actual edits or comments in writing that
can be implemented -- otherwise this exercise b/cs one of feeling in the
dark for me.

I am happy to do a call on Thursday or Friday if that works too.

best.
