Cheryl I defer to John, but my view is that having two separate meetings is a good idea, if we can work out the timing. I would like to have both meetings occur as soon as we can. I believe John is trying to schedule a meeting next Wednesday. One other comment on your changes is that I prefer corporate review over corporate audit. To me, the term "audit" has negative connotations, as if we started this because we knew something was wrong. With respect to the interview questions, we prefer not to circulate the questions. I attach a revised draft.

Are we set on doing two separate meetings? That is, a first staff meeting to discuss the corporate review and a second meeting to discuss personnel changes? If so, I will remove the second piece from the talking points and recirculate.
