Thanks very much, Phil. As we have received no objections or questions about Professor Swaine from the rest of the Working Group, staff will proceed to commence the contracting process with him. We will try to do this in as expedited a manner as we can, and will keep you all informed of our progress.

Cheers
Mary

Dear WG Members,

Per the email sent to the WG on 23 September 2015, staff has been in contact with Edward Swaine as a possible candidate to provide expertise to this WG’s efforts. Mr. Swaine has expressed interest in assisting the WG, is able to perform the work in a reasonable timeframe, and provided a quote that falls within budget. Please see the attached document which provides his response in full, although his quoted amount has been redacted since we do not have his express consent to share at this time. Staff and the co-chairs ask that you all review his qualifications and provide your feedback by CoB on 5 October 2015, in regards to whether staff should proceed with the contracting   process. Here is a link to his George Washington University faculty page, which includes his CV and other materials for review: http://www.law.gwu.edu/Faculty/profile.aspx?id=. 10968

Best,
Steve
