1.  Meeting Summary
We focused on two items: clarifying our anti-corruption policy as it relates to vendor-hosted sporting event networking, and aligning on an April in-person trip proposed by Bernd.

Amity flagged ongoing friction with the current hard line on attending events at Pacers/Colts/Indians venues, even when there is a legitimate business presentation attached.  I agreed the rule is too rigid in practice and is costing us networking and learning opportunities.  I will draft exception language that would allow attendance at US sporting events when there is relevant business content and a clear business case, contingent on prior ELT approval.  Plan is to run it by Dominic after Amity confirms Matt is supportive.  For the immediate Pacers event with an AI-focused session, I suggested submitting a one-off exception request if timing requires it.

On travel, I debriefed my call with Bernd.  He sees clear value in an April in-person working session.  I will send a formal email to Amity and Matt with the proposal and attendee options.  Likely travelers are me and Shawn, with Gage as a strong add given his role in managing the prospective new tenant.  I am still planning a June trip but need to reconcile that timing with a separate Houston obligation.

4.  Relevant Timelines
- Today, 2 pm - Amity to discuss the policy exception approach with Matt.  [Related: Amity one-off request if needed.]
- This week - Scott to deliver draft exception language and connect with Dominic for review.
- Upcoming, date TBD - Pacers event with AI presentation; pursue one-off exception if policy change is not yet approved.
- April - Target window for in-person session with Bernd.  [Related: Scott to secure approval and finalize attendees.]
- June - Planned trip remains on calendar; Scott to resolve potential conflict with a Houston commitment.

5.  Additional Notes
- The strict prohibition now appears in the latest anti-corruption policy; for years it was enforced informally.  Current market norms include vendor and partner events at sports venues with a learning component; our stance is out of step and hinders relationship building.
- Suggested policy framing for exceptions:
  - Event must include relevant business content and a reasonable business case documented in advance.
  - Prior written approval by an ELT member.
  - Clear documentation of costs and attendees to ensure transparency and compliance.
- Bernd explicitly sees value in the April in-person discussion.  Including Gage would strengthen downstream execution on tenant management and aligns with Facilities and PMO scope.
- I will prioritize quick turnaround on the draft language so Amity can keep momentum with Matt and, if necessary, secure a one-off approval for the imminent event.
