I have seen the message from Christian in which he confirmed that he approached the Research in Houston on his own. He did not receive any encouragement from me and from Mike. I hope this closes this issue. I can understand Christian's motivation but don't endorse the way he takes to reach his goals. He hopes to accomplish more in a larger group where he can have more interaction with his peers who have similar backgrounds. I think also that he developed an appreciation for good interpersonal relations in my group he could observe during his stay in Houston. My advice is to try to figure out how to use his skills for Enron and how to develop his social intelligence.

This lead to my conclusion that Houston was poaching and hence my blunt email to you - I apologise. I am still sick but will call you next week to discuss the correct way of moving forward.

Subject: RE: Christian Paul, I am glad you sent me this message. It will help to clarify a few issues. 1. I was contacted by Christian (this means I did not start this phase of the process) last Friday, as far as I can remember. Christian expressed interest in joining the Research Group. I told him two things: a. We would be delighted to have him here. b. Our mutual relationship and good practices require that he receives your blessing before we can move ahead. We agreed to have a conference call Wed morning, your time, with you, Christian and Mike Roberts. 2. Wednesday call was subsequently cancelled by Christian. Mike and I decided to call you anyway Thu morning your time, directly, to discuss the matter. I was in a PRC all afternoon and asked Mike to call you in case I could not sneak out to join him. Mike called and was told you were out sick. 3. I am leaving in a few hours for California. I shall be driving back to Houston for the next 3 days. Please, feel free to call Mike an discuss this matter with him in my absence. 4. I think Christian has a strong preference to be in the Research Group, assuming he moves to Houston. I think he came to this conclusion after visiting Houston in early July. I did not bring up the issue of transfer with him at all when he was here. I can understand his motivation and think we should take his preferences into account. But the first issue is if he can leave Sydney at all. I hope it helps. Cheers.

As a small office it would be devestating for us should Christian be lured away. I would appreciate you calling me rather than working through Christian on this matter. Rgds Paul
