I'm back July 14, and we will need to have an ongoing dialogue with the team to move the ball forward. Probably a call once or twice a week if you guys think appropriate. I've been in direct contact with the Minister in Aus, and will be speaking with his senior staffer (Cosi) who is the lead from their side on Monday night. Also, Jim Carouso, the Charge at the US Emb in Canberra is a close personal friend and would likely have good inputs, but I want to wait a bit before I contact him. But by next week you should have all the inputs and can decide how best to proceed.
Also, I believe that there will be a large CODEL in the country at the same time. Will try to get some more granularity - R and D from the Senate, across committee jurisdictions.
Just let me know if a sitdown would be useful. Or another call.

Thanks Matthew, this is extremely helpful!
It would be great to sit down with you to discuss. I will be in Canada for the CEC Council meeting from Tuesday-Thursday morning. When do you return from Morocco?
Alternatively, if Milan is available I can try to call in.

Millan: Did you want to have a face to face sit down on Tuesday with your team to discuss the various issues? I'm reachable over the next two weeks but out of the country. I'm out of town on Monday and depart Wedn night for Morocco. So Tuesday would be ideal. But I could also do early in the day on Wedn. Matthew PS Delta does fly into Sydney from LA

Matthew - looping in Sarah here as she will be our lead on building out the Administrator's schedule for this trip. She was also on the call and will assist us
in working with our international team to begin working on these initial steps.
Thank you, Millan

Thanks Rick for putting the call together. Look forward to continuing the dialogue.
One initial step would be to get a better sense of the current US Australian environmental agreements that are currently in place and whether they should be changed or updated or canceled and replaced with others. It would also be relatively easy to put together a joint advisory task force on environmental issues thus creating a new mechanism for
ongoing discussions.
I spoke with my friends at US Pacific Fleet Command and they have numerous environmental and maritime issues they would be interested in
furthering.
