1)  We're set for our usual transition board call at 9:30 a.m. Eastern tomorrow (Friday).  Here's the call-in number:
 
Conference Dial-in Number: (269) 320-8200
Participant Access Code: 165390#
 
We'll be discussing a few things:
 
-- Introduction of the VP team and a discussion of their work plan.
-- Progress reports from the policy teams.
-- Update on personnel database and website, and discussion of some facilities issues
 
2)  Originally, we had planned to disclose our donors on September 15.  We've decided to hold off on that until we're asked by the press.  But we're going ahead with vetting all of the donors a second time, and gathering missing employer/occupation information.  So far, we've raised about $180,000 towards our $300,000 goal.  That goal will have to be increased since our IT and research expenses have grown.
 
3)  By now, everyone should have access to two secure data rooms -- a "general" transition one and a room for your working group.  Let me know if you have questions.  And a reminder - all of the first tier policy promises (economy, national security, energy, health, education, immigration) have been completed.  They will continue to be revised, and the latest versions can be found in the "general" transition room.
