He and Paul Quilkey already have advanced ideas about his replacement (something half commercial/half regulatory), and possibly filled in the interim with a "semi-parttime" consultant. Tom Briggs came into my office and is willing to relocate for a year. I would prefer to have Tom there, let Paul hire whatever he needs commercially (FYI- Tom's wife is commercial, and probably could do a "bang up" job for Paul). I am no shrinking violet (as you probably know), but have been loathe to impose myself/my views, at this early date, but I am not thrilled to hear that Nick has cooked up a solution with Paul that he and I never discussed, after you and I have talked about Tom, and gotten Tom's interest aroused (it seems unfair to Tom to tantalise him with job prospects if we are going to take them back; same issue I suppose you have with Terry). I think a hybrid commercial/regulatory role is fine (and Tom could do it). By the way, the org. charts do not show it, but Nick has a subordinate, Reg. Aff. Mgr., Robert McGrory, already in place. Nick also suggested Mike Grimes going to Tokyo on expat assignment (discussed some time ago with Mike, but apparently not recently). Your thoughts? If you can call me after 1000 your time, would like to discuss. I think you have successfully killed Terry's mass meeting in London. he and I are meeting for a few hours tomorrow morning. thanks mcs
