John --

After several conversations with counsel and with the campaign nerds,  Mitch
Kapor and Mark Alexander want to go ahead with creating the organization and
using the attached as a "pitch" piece to raise funds.

1.  Note that what is contemplated here is separate from government,
including the official transition. Per the Board's earlier discussion.

2.  Are you willing to serve on the board?  Other board members can be added
when it is appropriate for Barack to take time to focus on it.  THERE WILL
ALSO BE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE of some sort.  Maybe Julius could co-chair
that?  Note that folks from Bluie State Digital are not on the board because
of conflict issues.

3.  Seems to me that this should get the Senator's sign off through your
good offices.  I don't see any particular hurry about it, because if you are
OK then we should go forward with raising some seed money and doing the
incorporation right away. Meanwhile, the technical discussions about the
software platform, etc., are moving forward quite well.  Campaign folks are
joined at the hip with this effort. (Rospars, Slaby, others).

GOOD TO GO?
