Thanks!

I'm in town for a "Do-Fest" that Laurene Jobs and Conservation International are organizing across the street or something from COP22. I think Laurene is giving an opening talk at COP22 and there are people from COP22 coming to our meeting. I'll be giving the opening talk at our thing.

BTW, Jeffrey didn't tell me anything about you. What do you do?

I'm the Director of the MIT Media Lab.

Joi,

May I offer you lunch either tomorrow or later this week or would an evening suit you better?

Hi Mark!

Would love to have lunch or something. Tomorrow, I'm giving my talk so might be a bit busy. Are you available all days this week?

Also, I'm having a difficult time find a reasonable flight to Kuwait on the 18th. Right now, the Kuwaitis are trying to take me via Casablanca, Zurich, Dubai. Seems crazy. I noticed that you used to work for Gulfstream. What is the private charter situation around here? Is there any way to charter a flight? Is it insanely expensive?. wondering if it might be better to fly to Europe, spend a night, and then fly to Kuwait. They want to do a press conference with me right off of the plane in Kuwait so I don't want to be too scruffy. ;-)

Glad your flights are sorted! Let me know if lunch tomorrow works for you?

Joi,

It was terrific to meet you earlier this afternoon. I'm most grateful to Jeffrey for the introduction.

If you are heading to London and have any time on your hands, here are a selection of people, all of whom are dear friends and I would be happy to connect you to:

-Professor Lord Ara Darzi (leading surgeon in the field of medical robotics)

-Dr Youssef Boutros-Ghali (former finance minister of Egypt)

-Dr John Chipman (Director of the IISS The international institute for strategic studies)

-Benjamin 'Ben' Goldsmith (philanthropist and eco investor)

With regard to Kuwait, I strongly urge you to meet with :

H.E. Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdullah Al-Mubarak al-Sabah, Minister of Z State for Cabinet Affairs. Very sharp and totally charming. The brightest spark there by far!

May I suggest you google all the above for more comprehensive profiles and let me know if you would like to meet any of them and I will try to make it happen.

In any event, let's keep in touch!

With best wishes,

Mark
