Hi,
This is a clarification and narrowing of the below request. Specifically, I'm seeking communications about; Digital and paper presentation materials from, to, or about; emails to, from, or about; and legal opinions regarding Outbox, a company that sought to create digitized replicas of USPS materials.
The group is widely reported to have met with Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, including here:
