Subject: Checking in

Good morning gentlemen,

We have a provisional telephone call in the diary with you and James, tomorrow at
5pm. Would you still like to go ahead with this? Given that Alice and Paula are
coming in next week to see James, it would certainly be very useful for him to hear
how things are going from your perspective, prior to that meeting. We could move
this phone call to next Monday, 27 January, at 3pm if that works better for you. Just
let me know.

Also, a couple of other things, if I may ask.

. Has the matter regarding the new proposed agreement been resolved to your
satisfaction? And if it has, is Alan still on board? We will speak to him too, but I’d be
interested to hear your thoughts.

. Finally, it is clear that a January update meeting for MPs is not going to happen,
but I think something ought to be done to let them know how the mediation process
is going, at what stage the investigations are at, and when the cases will be moved
on to the next stage. Two MPs in particular are beginning to ask questions: Andrew
Bridgen has raised the matter of compensation (Alan and Kay are looking into this);
and Mike Wood is asking how things are going with his constituent. Would a report
from Second Sight be a good idea, I wonder? Perhaps ahead of a February meeting
with MPs? I think it is be important to keep MPs up-to-date with what is going on,
and it might be helpful to Second Sight and the JSFA in keeping pressure on the
Post Office.

Wot think?

Janet
