They're checking on whether Gov can come to CGI islands energy session. Welcome John's views, PR guy seemed to say all the right things about need = for action, reform, etc. He said it would be helpful if we could help them specifically on solar, lo= w-carbon transport, and waste management. Hence idea to use CGI as a concentrated/efficient way for Gov to reach pote= ntial partners in those sectors - under the umbrella of WJC helping. We can also discuss - and would welcome john's and everyone's views - if we= think more of a heavy-lift is needed/appropriate - wherein CF would roll u= p sleeves and do real legwork - beyond serving as honest broker between Gov= and solar/transport/waste partners. My gut tells me perhaps we start as broker and see - based on reactions fro= m the potential partners who they approach - if Gov is really serious. But again would welcome folks' steer. Thanks. --_000_D00800C9D48A754DA64285EA077375750215FD0DFECLINTON07utop_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr= osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http:= //www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta http-equiv=3DContent-Type content= =3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"><meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Micros= oft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-US link=3Dblue vli= nk=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal>John and I had w= hat seemed like a useful call with PR folks today.<o:p></o:p></p><p class= =3DMsoNormal>They’re checking on whether Gov can come to CGI islands = energy session.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNormal>Welcome John’s vie= ws, PR guy seemed to say all the right things about need for action, reform= , etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNormal>He said it would be helpful if we= could help them specifically on solar, low-carbon transport, and waste man= agement.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNormal>Hence idea to use CGI as a conc= entrated/efficient way for Gov to reach potential partners in those sectors= – under the umbrella of WJC helping.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNor= mal>We can also discuss – and would welcome john’s and everyone= ’s views – if we think more of a heavy-lift is needed/appropria= te – wherein CF would roll up sleeves and do real legwork – bey= ond serving as honest broker between Gov and solar/transport/waste partners= .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNormal>My gut tells me perhaps we start as br= oker and see – based on reactions from the potential partners who the= y approach – if Gov is really serious.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNo= rmal>But again would welcome folks’ steer.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=3DM= soNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>= --_000_D00800C9D48A754DA64285EA077375750215FD0DFECLINTON07utop_--
