read the proposed presenation re DAF. 1 I take at face value your suggestion to continue to email you though
there is no response. 2. the presentation is still born.. 3. If we assume three major points , you and your vast
experience, toughtful goals and the donors self interest. I would estimate 10 to one on people initally focusing
on their own self interest . How is this good for them, ( you are suggesting partnering with them ) . you will
share your practical as well as theoretical perspective on grand giving. They all intend to give some to charity ,
but will also face the realization that each one trying to create their own private foundation , in the end makes
little sense. as they all wilil search for the phantom foundation genius that has grand giving experience. ( there
are only a small handful ). they will all have the same reporting requirements, back office, grant making etc. .
Your idea of partnering relieves them of major burdens while maintaining their flexibility both giving and tax.
. many more things to revamp . more helpful if we talk , as you know I don't really email much. fyi Katy
Ruemmler who i mentioned said she is doing some work for kinnect? ( Latham and Watkins„ she know brad
smith ). do you have any interest in meeting Bill Bums. ? If you can organize to return to ny the week of the
clinton initiative many people , you might find interesting are going to be in town.
