Subj: Project to investigate diverse perspectives on entity vs. individual liability

Dear Jim,
I have initiated this project to investigate the perspectives, views, analyses, and information that multiple interested parties have concerning the subject of entity level liability versus officer and employee individual liability as a means to deter corporate wrongdoing.
Parties who have an interest or should have an interest in this topic include lawmakers, judges, regulators, state attorneys general, criminal prosecutors, corporate management, ethics and compliance officers, corporation lawyers, various academics, plaintiffs' lawyers, tort reform organizations, and consumer protection organizations.
I am sending this email to you to inquire whether the National Association of Attorneys General would care to participate in dialogue on the subject of my project.
Our prior email correspondence would suggest that my project is not something that NAAG would be willing to participate in, but I thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Thanks for replying, Jim.
I know members of NAAG may have differing views on the subject, and that inhibits the Association. If you are willing to consider it, I would like to suggest that, in your newsletter or other form of periodic communication to members, you could include the following notification information for the members:
NAAG has been contacted about this project (http://robertshattuck.blogspot.com/2011/06/statement-of-project.html) to investigate the perspectives, views, analyses, and information that multiple interested parties (including state attorneys general) have concerning the subject of entity level liability versus officer and employee individual liability as a means to deter corporate wrongdoing.. Mr. Shattuck, the propounder of the project, understands that the members of the Association may have differing views about the subject, and the Association is thus not in a position to express views about the subject. The Association, however, wishes to notify its members of the existence of the project, particularly if individual members wish to dialogue about the subject. Please contact Mr. Shattuck by email at rdshatt@aol.com if you are interested.
Just a thought.
Thanks.
Rob
