<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">If the Sub-team wishes, I believe the two firms could work collaboratively and provide counsel that would combine the best work of both. Clearly, Sidley has more
capacity, and has also been involved significantly longer getting up to speed, and Adler Colvin would welcome leveraging that. I know on this morning’s call we were told you did
<b>not</b> want one voice, but I’m still not sure why. It seems much more efficient to me to let the firms work together. To that end, if you are willing to accept this suggestion, I would also suggest that you give both firms just one charge, and let the
firms work out between us how to approach the work, what structures make most sense, decide who drafts what, and how the other firm’s contributions are integrated. I have not discussed this with Holly, but we’d be happy to do that if Sidley is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I tend to support putting Sidley more in the lead. While it would still be a collaborative process, Sidley has more capacity and is further up the learning curve. Adler & Colvin could still
play to their strong suit of highly nuanced advice in the California nonprofit context.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">While gathering questions in one place is a good idea, I still caution against being too caught up on questions. We need to get the lawyers closer to our body of work -- lobbing random questions
at them without context or a holistic understanding of the question (much less an idea of what we intend to accomplish) does not give the lawyers the best chance to provide guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">I will also reiterate the idea of consulting with Jordan and Becky, and anyone else who is coordinating a work product (Steve DelBianco? Cheryl Orr?). The questions really need to come from
the work to help advance the work. Many of the questions go more to "stress testing" or satisfying skeptics, as opposed to questions that go directly to the work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is understandable to me that we need a bit more organization as this is complex, the lawyers are new to the process, and the timeline is crushing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">First, should we consider asking Sidley to be lead counsel, with them to get specific California input coordinated
between Rosemary (Adler) and Sharon (Sidley). I think we are struggling more than we need to with two law firms reporting directly to us – I also recognize both are exceptional.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Second, we should, IMO, endeavor to gather all questions and put them in one place and give them priority. Just
so we have it. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Third, I like Holly’s holistic suggestion and like the one week idea – Rosemary’s overnight mention of two to three
weeks concerned me, not because of any problem with that assessment but rather due to timeline. I realize that conundrum.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">But sometimes law firms “red team” certain things like initial public offerings etc and maybe we can get an answer
in a week as Holly suggests. But to do that we need to be clear in asking for it and to do that I expect we would want to run it past CCWG (meaning not until after next Tuesday, and maybe not then if we need a second reading). Interested in thoughts
