The Joe Michaels interview was very good. It's good to hear about the activities of PPA directors in the individual states. He had a great personal poker story, too. Nice job.

[TheEngineer]

Thanks Sajeffe! Glad you liked it.

Joe's a good guy who works hard for our right to play. I'm glad I was able to get him on the air this evening.

I'll have John Pappas and Russ Fox on the Monday (1/9) show. Should be a good one.

Will John answer the questions posted on 2+2 and heretofore ignored, regarding both

(1) what input, if any the PPA has provided to the NGC regarding the online poker regulations approved so far, and

(2) has the PPA been engaged in any substantive direct advocacy efforts to rducate legislators from lottery states or lotteriy authorities themselves ?

Also, can John address what efforts, if any, have been put into getting the PPA to a predominantly member-funded status.

[TheEngineer]

I don't know DQ. Are you requesting that, or are you simply inquiring?

FYP...

Hey Rich;

Can you ask John:

1) Has the PPA had previous discussions with the NGC or any other state regulator regarding online poker regulations and/or do they plan to do so in the future? If so, could he give a brief summary of the discussion(s)?

2) Has the PPA engaged in discussion and/or advocacy efforts specifically targeting legislators from lottery states and/or lottery authorities?

3) Finally, would you ask him for his thoughts on transitioning the PPA to a predominantly member-funded organization?

Thanks.

[TheEngineer]

No problem SBA!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to this one. We have a lot of great stuff for John Pappas to discuss, and it's always great to have Russ helping us all out here with the tax questions.
