Appreciate the update CDM ________________________________ My update is as follows: 1. JOM: I had a good conversationw ith JOM on Monday. She was very gracious; honored to be considered (and very complimentary of RM); did not think there was a role that made sense for her to move her family given her role as deputy campaign manager for 2012 where she had accountability for building and operating substantial aspects of the campaign. Would be happy to be considered to be a part-time senior advisor if that made sense for the ultimate manager. She would be willing to travel back and forth and shared that in 2012, they had senior managers who had accountability for areas or projects so there was clear lines and expectations -- that is a model in which she would be able to participate best. I asker here wehre she thought, given the breadth of her experience she could best add value -- she said in two places: 1) as sounding board to manager on what and how they structured and the campaign (and is happy to do that now without compensation since much of that will happen in the next two months) and 2) as end-user consumer/evaluator and partner to ensure the tools built meet the needs of field in specific places, including what tools are really valuable and what are not and how to design to outcomes that are practical and accessible for field staff. 2. DG -- exchanged emails with DG; she is on holiday until 5 January; we are connecting that Monday; I don't know that she will be looking to move from where she landed at her firm but will push; JJS advised that she is terrific though he thinks of her less operationally and more at the intersection of policy, politics and action (e.g., she believes she is excellent at policy and politics). 3. Self-Research -- spoke to HRC. As we discussed, her definition of what she sees remaining with personal lawyers and HFS is the narrow areas we discussed (e.g., taxes, health, finances/speeches, family) though she added BZ. I shared that HFS can continue to manage in partnership with outside personal counsel (including DEK, HT, me) but that self-research as a whole (and explained the larger paradigm) should be in NY and run by someone sitting in NYC,with which she agreed. We discussed HFS; she wants her doing these areas, vetting, and personnel from a perch in the Legal Counsel operation or the COO operation -- RM let's discuss so it is consistent with your vision, organizational paradigm and goals. 4. WC --- she executed her paperwork and will be live in DC or NYC (she wants to be wherever RM will be) effective January 12 (the week before she has to do some transition work for her team member who will be stepping in for 90 days). I agreed to secure her housing -- which is done for NYC -- but if she is to come to DC, I need to do that so let me know. I think those are all my updates. best. cdm
