1)      Two groups we haven't heard from recently are personnel and VP.
Thought we might want to get an update from them.

2)      Carol, Sonal, and I chatted yesterday about how the policy memos
should be formatted.  They said they were going to put together a draft
strawman and circulate for comments.  That would ensure some consistency
in what the different groups are doing.  Might be worth them saying a
word or two about that.

3)      There's been some discussion about how all of the different
groups will share their work product.  The agency review teams are
supposed to circulate 2 page memos on Oct.  1 or 2; the policy teams are
supposed to finish their drafts by end of the month; Todd's executive
order team is doing their own review; etc.  Not sure that tomorrow's
call is necessarily conducive to this discussion, but since a lot of the
work thus far has occurred in silos, we should figure out a general
process for sharing information.  We should also figure out how the
board review of all of this will occur and under what time frame.

4)      On the operations front, we're meeting today with DOJ on
security clearances.  I can report on that, as well as some
conversations we've had with the campaign on facilitating movement of
some of the operations components (systems and personnel) to the
transition.  And I think we can tell people to stop fundraising for a
while, since we've met our initial goal of $300,000.

5)      You also might want to give everyone a preview of what you'd
like to accomplish at next Friday's meeting, and what paper people
should prepare.
