We've been corresponding with Mayors offices all week to verify their paid status and also reconciling all the lists from previous sources to help the team determine if A) We had a quorum at the 5.30 election, which we DID and B) if we had a quorum at the 5.31 Board meeting, which we DID. Additionally, we are getting mayors caught up to speed who are listed as board members but have been inactive. Many of these mayors are friends of MKJ's and would thus be supportive of his actions. Therefore, it is in our best interest to get these Board members to good standing (aka paid) so they can participate in the next Board meeting to ouster Vanessa. Finally, per an update from Alex this morning, MKJ et al will be finished with the hearing around 6pm EST (3pm PST). We will join the team via teleconference for a debrief most likely around that time. Adrianne, Astrid, Nicole, and Ben - please be availabe in case we cal a meeting so you're in the oop on the latest from the court rearing. ‘Thanks all, Mariah ‘On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 4:55 AM, Aisha Lowe wrote: Morning all, Passing along this NCBM update from ATL (see below).

Begin forwarded message: From: Alex Brakebill Subject: Update from Tuesday Date: July 10, 2013 7:22:02 AM EDT To: Mariah Sheriff , Meera Krishnan , Aisha Lowe , Tracy Stigler , Asha Canady , “aaron.omk" , Kellan Patterson, Anita Foster , Cassandra Jennings < to.ora> Team, Quick update on what has been going on here in Atlanta over the last day. We started off the morning with a meeting with Pastor Durley where the Mayor caught him up on what is going on. Next we went off to the offices of Ballard Spahr where we held important meetings with the PR team and developed a PR strategy with regards to this case. Several key points: 1) Developed a response to the George Curry article which we will use to respond to any questions related to the article. In addition the PR team was able to get the local Atlanta black newspaper to not run the article. 2) Fox 5, the local Atlanta Fox affiliate and reporter Dale Russell, have gotten permission to film the proceedings. We have reached out to Dale and explained to him our story. He seems to be sympathetic to the new leadership. 3) The mayor prefers not to be the face of this matter until the case is resolved. David Pittinsky (Legal) and Jeff Dickerson (PR) will speak for the Mayor, STF, and Mayors Green and Ajoku. Next we had a discussion with C21 communications which was good and they will probably be on board for the rebranding efforts. Next the team put Mayors Johnson, Ajoku, and Green through practice on the testimony. Midway through this we got the response from Vanessa Williams and Sue Winchester which has significant falsifications. The team worked through ways to rebut these falsifications and feels that it has a very strong case. It is possible that the matter will be resolved tomorrow, however another possibility is that there will be a continuance to next week as there is a significant amount of testimony that has to be given. T just want to comment that all of the members of the team from PR to Legal have been very helpful and are bringing great resources to this case. Alex Brakebill Summer Fellow Office of Mayor Kevin M.
