Dear Walter —Apologies for not responding sooner. By way of this email, I wanted to put you in touch with Michael 
Galway and Gabrielle Fitzgerald. As was mentioned during the meeting, both are not only working on our polio strategies 
in the three endemic regions we discussed but they are also increasingly looking into the security situations there and 
trying to determine whether there are more ways the foundation could contribute to creating a more stable environment 
that will increase our chances of success for eradication. I've passed along to them notes from our meeting and 
suggested you be in touch directly for any next steps, including the possibility of a VTC in the near future. —Joe

Dear Joe, 
It was a pleasure to meet you last week in Strasbourg. Unfortunately Mr. Roed-Larsen's schedule prevented him from 
attending. However, we hope that we shed some new light on the complex subject in our short time with Mr. Gates and his 
team. 
We have continued to reflect on possible approaches to eradicating polio in the last few regions of the world where It Is 
endemic. As Mr. Gates pointed out, the last millimetre seems to be the hardest. While one approach has worked 
remarkably well in 99.9% of the world as part of a global health campaign, we suggest that the last little bit has to be 
considered in very specific security, political and social conditions at the local level. We believe that we can help.

We would welcome the opportunity to talk in greater detail with you and other colleagues at the Bill and Melinda Gates 
foundation about strategy and tactics. I believe it would also be helpful to know more about your surveying techniques and 
communication strategies. 
What works best: should we start with a Skype or phone call (early next week)? We are also putting some ideas on paper. 
Are the interlocutors from the foundation who work on this issue mostly based in London? As we move forward —
particularly before moving to the operational phase — I think it would be in best interest of the project that we meet 
around the same table. 
I believe that Mr Roed-Larsen and Mr. Gates will, at some time in the near future, meet with a goal to outline a forward-
looking plan, 
Best regards,
