I added Lippert

I don't know White, but I defer to your judgment, Sarah. 

I wonder how we explain having Caldera on the team to Danzig, who is not on the team. 

Denis.

Hi John, 
 
Following up on yesterday's call, this morning's news that Bill Lynn is dropping out due to ethics rules, and a subseqent conversation with Susan:  
 
I'd like to ask John White to consider leading the team. I don't know if he will, but think he has the right mix of expertise and standing. Caldera will join the team. I know you are juggling countless more important issues but I would like your ok to move forward.
 
Many thanks. -sarah
