Subject: Re: Thanks

John, I wanted to add my personal thanks, too. Mark can be a demanding and inquisitive student, and he was both impressed and grateful for your time and candor. He’s begun a challenging journey to direct his wealth to have an impact as great as Facebook and your ideas and perspectives really moved his thinking. I know he was focused on the kinds of structures he should put together, but now I suspect he’ll be paying more attention to the types of people he needs — policy entrepreneurs and strategists — as he thinks about next steps. Any and all suggestions are welcome among folks you know or have worked with.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there are things we can do to be helpful in you and your work — whether at CAP or elsewhere.

Have a great weekend,

Elliot

John,

I enjoyed spending time with you yesterday and our conversation gave me a lot to think about.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with CAP and some of the choices you made as you put the organization together. I hope it’s okay if I reach out as my thinking develops to get your ideas and reactions.

If there are any other folks you think I should talk to, please let me know.

Thanks again. I look forward to continuing our conversation.

Mark
