1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Followed up work at ref SDS 10 line 39 and ref SDS 4 line 37, and
111002 - discussion with Steve Rule at Turner, ref SDS 9 line 62.

1113 - Discussion
1114 -
111401 - Ahmet will bring PMI application forms and brochures explaining PMI
111402 - to our meeting with Linda next week.
111403 -
111404 -     He suggests I act as a marketing rep with respect to Turner, and
111405 -     submit these materials, in conjunction with discussions about
111406 -     providing a speaker per ref SDS 9 line 53.
111407 -
111408 -     Ahmet said Nino Borconi provides support for membership, however,
111409 -     he is so busy that it is often difficult to contact him and for
111410 -     him to schedule time for PMI membership activities.  Amet
111411 -     suggests that I call and leave a message for Nino of my contact
111412 -     with Turner and request that Nino call back if he has any
111413 -     specific instructions for handling this matter.
111414 -
111415 -         I told Ahmet of meeting Nino at the Kerzner lecture, ref SDS 1
111416 -         line 406, and had difficulty following up on contacts he
111417 -         requested.
111418 -
111419 -
111420 -     I will contact Turner on Monday and suggest a meeting to deliver
111421 -     the materials and review Event Program Plan.
111422 -
111423 -
111424 - He recalled speaking to Turner people in Oakland last year on joinint
111425 - PMI.  He believes they have greater interest in CMAA:
111426 -
111427 -          Construction Management Association of America
111428 -
111429 -   ...a related organization that sometimes has joint meetings with
111430 -   PMI when we meet at Spranglers in Oakland.
111431 -
111432 -
111433 -
111434 - I asked if Ahmet received the 950711 letter ref DIP 2 line 32,
111435 - transmitting analysis of the Project Manager role submitted at ref SDS
111436 - 6 line 49.  Ahmet said he received it.
111437 -
111438 - I asked if he had any comments on that issue.

1509 - Summary/Objective
1510 -
151001 - Follow up work at ref SDS 3 line 474.
151002 -
151003 - Ahmet expressed concern about reports he received that show considera-
151004 - tion of Ed Curran for a PMI Event Project Manager.
151005 -
151006 -     We reviewed the record showing Ed's name is mentioned as a
151007 -     possibility along with 5 - 10 other names for a PM assigment in
151008 -     discussions with Bill DeHart on 950629 at ref SDS 3 line 474. Ed's
151009 -     name was mentioned by Ahmet in our discussion on 950711 ref SDS 6
151010 -     line 154, as confirmed in the letter to Ahmet, ref DIP 2 line
151011 -     190.
151012 -
151013 - Ahmet feels discussions about PM assignments should be internal among
151014 - he, Bill and I, and that he will make the final decisions.  He
151015 - cautioned that advance notice to prospective project managers, could
151016 - result in disappointment and ill will, if they are not selected.
151017 -
151018 -     We reviewed the record showing compliance with this procedure.  A
151019 -     copy of the discussion notes between Bill and I was sent only to
151020 -     Ahmet, and a copy of the discussion notes between Ahment and I was
151021 -     sent only to Bill, ref DIP 3 line 25.
151022 -
151023 -     There is nothing in the record showing contact with any of the
151024 -     prospective candidates.  I explained these are planning notes to
151025 -     carry out the mission of creating an Event Program which Ahmet
151026 -     requested at ref SDS 2 line 91.
151027 -
151028 -

151031 -
151032 - Ahmet was concerned that writing out the names of prospective PMs
151033 - could get into the wrong hands by accident and thereby cause political
151034 - problems.
151035 -
151036 -     I explained how "planning" entails writing things down and linking
151037 -     them up to minimize the chance of error and maximize the chance of
151038 -     getting everything that needs to be done accomplished on time and
151039 -     within budget.  Distribution has been limited to the Event Program
151040 -     Team.
151041 -
151042 -     In this case the record shows Ahmet said he wants to defer
151043 -     contacting Ed Curran about the PM role, per ref SDS 6 line 154.
151044 -     The record shows Amet's approach has been followed.  Ed's office
151045 -     was called as requested by Ahmet to notify that the Board meeting
151046 -     date was changed to 950726, ref SDS 6 line 66.  This was done at
151047 -     ref SDS 7 line 38.  There is nothing more in the record on this.
151048 -
151049 -
151050 - Timely Appointment and Action is Critical
151051 -
151052 - The experience of the 1995 Asilomar effort suggests that in addition
151053 - to avoiding hurt feelings, it seems valuable to interview a number of
151054 - prospects on key selection criteria at ref SDS 3 line 494.
151055 -
151056 - This is a fact gathering exercise which requires that people be asked
151057 - if they would be interested, have time and the resources to implement
151058 - the Event Program Plan.
151059 -
151060 - It seems equally important that once selected the Project Manager be
151061 - given support by the Event Program Team as a resource to maintain
151062 - progress and focus on implementing the plan.  Otherwise there is the
151063 - risk of late notice it all crashed and burned.

1805 - Summary/Objective
1806 -
180601 - Follow up work at ref SDS 5 line 204.  Ahmet has set a meeting with
180602 - Linda for next Wednesday to discuss our plans, but has not set the
180603 - date and location.  Ahmet said he has explained in general our
180604 - concept and Linda is open to supporting it.
180605 -
180606 - He has a call in to Linda, but expects not to hear from her until
180607 - Monday.  He will let me know on Monday when and where this meeting
180608 - will occur.
180609 -
180610 - He said only he and I and Linda will attend.  He feels Chuck with whom
180611 - he was planning to meet is too busy with jury duty to support this
180612 - initiative.  I asked about Bill DeHart.  Ahmet said he believes Bill
180613 - will be out of town next week, per ref SDS 3 line 88.
180614 -
180615 -     Comment
180616 -
180617 -     Bill was available to attend a meeting last week, per discussion
180618 -     at ref SDS 6 line 89, which was confirmed in the letter to Ahmet
180619 -     at ref DIP 2 line 36.  However, since the meeting has slipped, he
180620 -     may be out of town next week.
180621 -
180622 -
1807 -
1808 -
1809 - 1313 called Bill
1810 -
181001 - He and Pat are leaving 950720 because Pat has a doctor appointment
181002 - 950719. Therefore, if we can meet 950719 on Wednesday, as Ahmet has
181003 - planned, then Bill can attend.
181004 -
181005 - Bill will plan on attending.  Ahmet or I will call on Monday and
181006 - confirm the time and location.
181007 -
181008 -
1811 -
1812 -
1813 - 1336 called Ahmet
1814 -
181401 - Advised Bill is available for Wedensday or earlier of next week. Ahmet
181402 - will let us know.

2405 - Summary/Objective
2406 -
240601 - Followed up discussions at ref SDS 8 line 74.
240602 -
240603 - Ahmet said the Nov event may not be possible even though many want it
240604 - per ref SDS 5 line 335.
240605 -
240606 -     Bill and I in a separate call are feeling pretty sure now that a
240607 -     Nov event is untennable, per ref SDS 5 line 549, so we are
240608 -     thinking of consolidating per ref SDS 5 line 315.
240609 -
240610 -     Once he does the CPM, the viability of a Nov event will be more
240611 -     clear.
240612 -
240613 -
240614 - Bill will prepare schedules with and without Nov event, showing what
240615 - has to occur and approvals needed to carry out any decision by the
240616 - Board.
240617 -
240618 -     This will support Ahmet in presenting to the Board why a Nov event
240619 -     is not practicle; the level of effort required to include a Nov
240620 -     event if that decision is taken; and, how the Chapter can recover
240621 -     by consolidating for a multi-day Feb event, per ref SDS 5 line
240622 -     337.
240623 -
240624 -
240625 - Another concern is that work on Feb event needs to be underway,
240626 - otherwise we will run out of time, as seems to be occurring with the
240627 - Nov event.
240628 -
240629 - Bill will have a CPM ready for transmission and review tomorrow.
