Hey Paula!!! Well I would definitely encourage the "power peeps" to ask you (hire you) to do that white paper. I am positive that you would have some great ideas that they NEED to LISTEN to. If they haven't learned what they squandered yet by looking at their wallets, then they are true fools. And reaching out to people like you that are connected to the users at a user level would be a great start. I know they have an initiative going that they are trying to seem inclusive, but its definitely not the same as finding the people that help when there's nothing in it for them.

And I'm flattered you would include me in that group, but I know you and the others do way more than me! I'm with you all in spirit though and truly wish they would seize their 3rd chance (I have the same feeling about HF21) ;)

I hope you are well and always great to have a word or two with you :)
