    Saul's and my recollection of the discussion with Adam on the morning
    of the TOO were basically as in Vitalily's note below. We weren't
    taking about sharing any data, but general feedback on the followup. I
    don't recall any specifics, but something like postage stamp jpegs
    would be consistent with the general idea.

    Saul should be in the loop regarding what info get shared with Adam.
    Rachel is drafting a response - can you please work out with him what
    we're kinds of info we're sharing (at least at a general level).

    -Tony
