We are coming close to completing the paperwork for your general operating support grant. To this end, can you please tell me who should be the signatory on the grant agreement? Andrea or Mr. Rod-Larsen. And with regard to the second project support grant, can you please let me know which of the following dates/times work best for your assembled team to have a phone call: • Tuesday, October 20th 2:00-3:30pm PST/Seattle • Tuesday, November 5th 1:00-2:30pm/Seattle • Wednesday, November 6th 2:30-4:00pm/Seattle My apologies that these times are not very convenient for you all in NYC and Vienna. I had a terrible time finding dates that worked for the various members of the polio team who need to be on the call. Options were very few-and-far between. If none of these dates/times work, please do let me know and we can look further into November. If you have dates that work better for you, by all means suggest them. Thank you, Amy From: Amy Carter Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 5:33 PM To: 'David Witt' Cc: Paul Facchini; Jennifer Alcorn; Terje Rod-Larsen; Andrea Pfanzelter; Camilla Reksten-Monsen Subject: RE: WI polio expenses Dear David — EFTA00973921 Thank you very much for this accounting. We appreciate it. We are finalizing the paperwork on your General Operating support request; thank you for your patience. Toward ascertaining the structure and composition of the second, project support grant, I expect to be in touch next week with a series of proposed dates for a conference call. I'll look forward to sharing those with you and the hope that at least one of them will work for all of us! Scheduling is always the hardest part. Until then, Amy From: David Witt [ Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 1:17 PM To: Amy Carter Cc: Paul Facchini; Jennifer Alcorn; Terje Rod-Larsen; Andrea Pfanzelter; Camilla Reksten-Monsen Subject: IPI polio expenses Dear Amy: We received and paid last week the final consulting invoices in order to complete the attached report, as requested, of IPI expenses to date on polio eradication. The total of approximately $81,500 represents direct expenses only (excluding IPI staffing and overhead). Please let me know if there's anything further we can provide at this time.

We look forward to hearing further from you on the request for general operating support; meanwhile, we continue to work on the proposal for project funding and will await word from you on a conference call in the coming weeks to discuss. I am also completing and will send shortly an itemization of expenses incurred to date on polio eradication, as requested for the initial funding.

We will be in touch next week with our response, questions and next steps. Thank you, Amy From: David Witt [ Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 4:17 PM To: Amy Carter Cc: Paul Facchini; Jennifer Alcorn; Terje Rod-Larsen; Andrea Pfanzelter; Camilla Reksten-Monsen Subject: WI request for general operating support Dear Amy: I hope all is well with you. Further to our meeting in Seattle and subsequent correspondence, please find attached our letter of request for general operating support from the Gates Foundation. I believe your latest recommendation was for general operating support of from $1.0 to $2.5 million over three years (Oct 2013—Sep 2016), and project support of from $2.5 to $4.0 million (depending on the previous) over one year (Jan-Dec 2014). We respectfully request the Foundation's consideration of a two-year, rather than three-year, term for the general operating support — i.e., from Oct 2013 thru Sep 2015. We are confident of IPI's capacity to fully utilize the general operating funds — as well as the anticipated project funding — over these requested periods, and we believe the two-year term better aligns with the one-year term of project support. You and Paul also requested a listing of IPI's expenses incurred to date on polio eradication. We are finalizing our accounting of these and will provide an itemized report in the next day or two, if acceptable. Please let us know of anything further you may require at this stage. Otherwise, we look forward to a conference call in the coming weeks on the proposal for project funding that we're now hard at work on. Many thanks for your kind support throughout this process.
