Do you want to do it by WhatsApp or Seagull?  Seagull will take some time as I do not have access to the phone right now.

Not sure man. 

There is so much organizational politics that we are trying to sort out. In JC20 H2 was unable to attend any activity since he was in quarantine - so B3 only met K1 and N2. 

What I suggest we do is have the call with H2 and we will invite K2 to attend as well.

Benzi,

 

I’d take your advice, but B3 specifically asked for BG Kochav.  I don’t think that he is looking for a decision but input on the exercise and share what he is thinking given COVID.  Do I need to go back to him to redirect?

Hey Alex- 

 

I think that the right person B3 should talk to is either MG Haliva - our J3 or BG Gil our J7. BG Kochav is TF-BMD.... lemme know, and I’ll do my best to set it up.

Benzi,

Greetings! I hope you are well and able to enjoy your holidays, and I apologize for reaching out during them.  However Gen Basham requested that I set up a bilateral net phone call with BG Kochav in the near future, to talk JF21.  I Understand you are switching roles but are always the most connected person I know. Who do I need to reach out to coordinate the phone call?  We are looking at either the 14th or 15th of this month.
