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.
