מדוייק וככה צריך לכוון אותו – ענין המזה''ת כללי וגם ישראל תהיה בו, הוא עצמו הבין את זה היטב..ענין המפרץ ממש רלוונטי אז בטח ישמח

ככה זה טוב-קצר, קולע, מכוון

תודה

גם את זה הוא לא רוצה לטרוח לכתוב??

 

אפשר להציע לו משהו בנוסח הזה:

 

ל 22.9

The Rise of the US as a Global Power

 

ל 23.9

Geo-Strategic Interests in the Middle East

 

ל 30.9

Geo-Strategy in the Gulf

 

השניה והשלישית דומות, אבל השניה אמורה בראייתי להציג אינטרסים של מעצמות שונות באזור המזהת והשלישית להציג למה האזור הזה הוא חשוב מבחינה גאואסטרטגית

 

מה דעתך?

אני בעצם מתעלמת מרצונו לדבר על יחסי ישראל-ארהב.

Hi Merav,

 

Great, thank you very much.

 

In terms of the titles, do you have suggested titles, based on your conversation with Amb. Ross, that I can then run by him? 

 

Thanks,

Will

Hi Will,

Great. I confirm then both the additional date and the honorarium.

What we need now to complete the program is titles for each of the sessions: 22, 23, 30 September.

Thanks,

Merav

​Hi Merav,

 

September 22nd 9:00 am-10:30 am DC time would work. Please let me know if you can confirm.

 

In addition, since we had discussed a $1000 honorarium for two lectures, Amb. Ross asked me to ask if it could be $1500 for three lectures? 

 

Thanks very much,

Will

Hi Will,

 

Possible dates for an additional session would be: 22 September (most preferable), 13 of October and 14 of October (least preferable).

 

Please advise whether any of these dates could work.

 

Best,

Merav

Hi Merav,

 

I hope all is well.

 

No problem - I've consulted with Amb. Ross, and he asked me to ask you what the dates would be if he does 3 lectures?

 

Thanks very much,

Will ​

Dear Will,

 

In our conversation with Amb. Ross he expressed his willingness to consider giving 3 sessions and not just 2.

 

Could you kindly check with him if he has made a final decision on this, as we would like to finalize our plan for the course?

 

Best regards,

Merav
