John:

The headhunter for the NRDC search (Karen Wilcox) has approached me about
Frances B's job.  My sense is that Peter Lehner has the inside track.
 Here's my question:  do you think that I should go for this, and might
have a realistic shot at it?  I tend toward the pragmatic and collaborative
side of environmental advocacy, and I'm not sure how open the NRDC Board
would be to supplementing their hard core and effective
lawyering/litigation orientation on some issues (e.g., climate change --
thank goodness!) with a broader approach on other issues.   For example, I
think that NRDC could be a huge agent for change in the renewable energy
space, working with the renewable energy industry to unleash consumer
choice from the grip of small-minded PUCs.  And I think that they could be
important players in the climate impact arena, working collaboratively with
community and regional leaders.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

David
