Notes from 12/7 meeting with Clare:

• She sees value in both RBS and PS for OFCIO
• She’s specifically interested in applying PS to OFCIO’s public comment process
• She was very interested when we mentioned Elizabeth Schweinsberg’s use of RBS in an anti-phishing context—OFCIO perks up at anything cyber
• She is thinking of one person in her office for each of the two tools, who can champion them. She’s confirming those two people in the next few days.
• We floated the idea of ~3 30-min follow up conversations with her: the first mtg with her + the 2 champions to brief them more in depth on the two tools and secure their buy-in, the subsequent mtgs coaching them through how to apply each tool in practice (kind of like what we’re doing with DOJ rn); she seemed very bought-in
• Jeremy is going to schedule a follow up with her for 2 weeks out
