Proceeds CCWG Meeting - Thursday 25 January at 14.00 UTC

I will only be on the first hour of of the call today, due to a
conflict with an event I need to be at.

Apologies.

However, I will just note that I worked for a major corporation for
many years, and during that time, I engaged many experts for advice
for ad hoc activities, NGOs, etc.. Ireviewed the letter and frankly, I
would NEVER agree to participate in a call with such weirdly
cautionary language.

It reads like this:

hmmm, you do not now who "we are". We are very special. And, oh by the
way, don't bother to learn about us. No need!

And, by the way, you should know today whether you might today, or
ever in the future have a client interested in applying for the
auction funds, although you do not know the mechanism we will choose,
or the conditions, etc.

And, oh by the way, we hope you will want to donate your time to give
us information while we are not clear with you.. and we may sort of
blackball you if you answer any question in a way that makes "us"
uncomfortable.

Surely, we can do better than this in how we explain the issue, the
invitation, and the call for a declaration of interest.

Just as someone the CCWG do not know today if in the future they might
have a client or be part of an organization that might apply for
funding, that may be the case for those that are interviewed.

I also  note that if you want a senior executive to read a letter -
make it one page, with attachments.

I'll join as long as I can.

Marilyn
