John -- Great to see you on the sidelines of UNGA last month.  Thought you
might find interesting the press release and partner list (attached) for
the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data that we launched
there.  More than 70 orgs on board now from Facebook and ONE to govts of
Senegal and Mexico to the World Bank and UN Statistical Commission.  If we
can harness all of the interest, I think the group can play a major role in
making the goals real and ensuring that by next UNGA we have a meaningful,
data-driven picture of where we stand on each of the goals and where we
need to get in the next 15 years.

The legacy of your efforts on the goals continues to have an impact. And we
are now gearing up within USG for implementation of the goals.  Still big
questions of what that will look like, but the momentum is there.

Btw - I just saw the social media analysis from globalgoals.org.  Pretty
extraordinary reach was achieved in messaging the goals (in the billions,
recognizing that there are limits to such estimates).

Best, Daniella
