Attached below is the CV for Edward Barker.; As discussed previously, 
Edward's fiancee is finishing a PhD in LA and the DTi are willing to second 
Edward to California for a year.; I've got back to them saying that we're 
happy to consider it, asking for a CV and passing on the need for Edward to 
be based in either SF or Portland.; The latter point is fine, he would be 
willing to travel.
;
From the CV;Edward's background is similar to mine on the educational front, 
although he took a turn into Government rather than consulting when he left 
university.; I think Edward is excellent.; He is one of the best 
regulators/civil servants I've come across in terms of both his economic 
knowledge and;awareness of commercial issues.; He should have a very 
successful career at the DTI and it;be good if we;were able;to help him.
;
So - we've got the CV and the;agreement in principle to offering Edward 
something, what's the best way to take this forward and make it happen?; Who 
should I liaise with?
;
Thanks
;

PS: Richard Lewis did have one concern, ie, that if Edward gets too close to 
our reg affairs staff he may develop a cynical view of our regulatory staff 
"arguing the book" rather than crusading for truth, justice and the public 
interest.; This could backfire on us when he returns to the UK.; While this 
is a potential problem, I don't think we should be unduly;concerned because:
;
- Edward is astute enough to realise what drives most regulatory affairs 
activity
- we generally are arguing in the public interest anyway
- if we're aware of the problem we can circumnavigate it.
