Dear Doug and Peter, We're delighted you are helping to lead what no doubt will be a dynamic set of panel discussions on June 2. As you know, this will be the fourth annual BMGF-NIH workshop to discuss progress of joint projects and opportunities for cooperation, based on emerging scientific opportunities and public health developments. It will be the second that Bill Gates has joined. Attached is the current draft agenda. I have the immediate challenge of assembling the moving parts into a fixed, final agenda, and would welcome your guidance. We plan to present Bill and Francis with a final agenda early next week. May I ask the following, in developing a final draft: Who should be listed as moderator, to open discussion and guide the conversation? Does the agenda reflect the correct composition and order of panelists, as well as scientific topics? I'm happy to incorporate your additions and corrections, including any descriptive bullets that help characterize the session As last year, we're hoping to ensure a conversational format for each panel, to allow for new ideas and collaborative thinking to emerge, and to enable Bill to participate in the discussion. We therefore request that each panelist limit their introductory remarks to 3 minutes, to enable at least half of the 45 minute session to constitute open discussion, led by the moderator, with participation from the panelists, as well as relevant experts in the audience. We ask that you use PowerPoint only when absolutely necessary, such as to present a point that cannot be made verbally. Should you wish for certain graph, charts, or tables to be available as background for your panel, please send these along to me. I'll make sure they are available to all attendees.
