I have expected =hat these meetings would be primarily informational meetings, in the =ense that you would provide me details and context, and that I can ask =uestions to help me further understand these details, their context, =nd their relationship to ASU policies. There are some cases where = may be able to provide some immediate responses, but my expectation is =hat in general I will be surprised, and potentially upset by some of =he material you present to me, and I am concerned about framing an =dequate response under those conditions. Thus, I think it =ould be more useful, and fair, for this first meeting to be primarily =n opportunity for me to receive information and feedback, and then to =ave a subsequent meeting at which I will have the opportunity to =rovide useful information to you in response. Without specifics =t this time, it is hard for me to clearly determine what will be =ecessary, so this seems a reasonable approach to me. Does this =ound reasonable to each of you? Also, I =anted to confirm that I have the option to bring along a support person =o the meeting if I think it will be helpful. Is that acceptable =o each of you? Thanks for your consideration of these =ssues. Lawrence Lawrence M. Krauss Director, The Origins Project at ASU Co-Director,=Cosmology Initiative Foundation Professor 2 EFTA_R1_01589518 EFTA02476140

Thanks for this. I should perhaps have been =learer about my original question though. In order to better be =repared for our meeting I would like to know if you will be providing =e with the additional information in advance of our meeting. =nbsp;Also, will that be the only occasion to respond to the =nformation, and/or present other new information or request further =nformation? If not, what kind of timeframe should I expect? =nbsp; Thanks again. I do appreciate your getting back to =e. Lawrence Lawrence M.
