<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Team,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to propose that we schedule a brief call with Bird & Bird to discuss the question on automation we just sent.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I was just an alternate in Phase 1 and was not able to attend, I understand from many EPDP colleagues across various groups that there was a lot of value from discussions with Ruth.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the answers to these automation questions will likely be of great importance to a high-priority topic (automation), and because at least the proximate cause issue may be a novel area of law, I think a dialogue would be useful to confirming
Bird & Bird’s understanding of our intent behind these questions. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to your thoughts. <u></u><u></u></p>
