Hello Rosa ...I think might have already emailed you, but wanted to follow up just in case (Jeffrey was talking to me on the phone and to who was standing with him at the same time... so not sure which one of us was to actually email you!)

Jeffrey requested that we give you the contact email for Stud Barak so that you can organize the meeting with Jamie Diamond and Barak on your end for simplification. Nili handles Mr. Barak's itinerary. (She is his 'life partner-1'm guessing like a wife, but not married??!) Her email address is:

Thanks Rosa, LEsley
