1
00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:01.630
Before a board member

2
00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:03.630
copies you into an introduction,

3
00:00:03.650 --> 00:00:05.150
the person being introduced

4
00:00:05.170 --> 00:00:07.470
should already have said yes.

5
00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:08.990
Maya sits on the board

6
00:00:09.010 --> 00:00:10.790
of Oak Street Reading.

7
00:00:10.810 --> 00:00:12.510
Her colleague Sam asked her

8
00:00:12.530 --> 00:00:14.350
about local reading programs,

9
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:16.630
so the interest is Sam's own.

10
00:00:16.850 --> 00:00:18.830
Leah, the development director,

11
00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:21.070
first tells Maya what will happen:

12
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.390
a reply within two working days,

13
00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:26.030
an email overview or a short call,

14
00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:28.070
and no request for money.

15
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:30.670
Now Maya can describe it honestly.

16
00:00:30.770 --> 00:00:31.790
She asks Sam

17
00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:33.870
whether an introduction would be welcome,

18
00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:36.310
or whether a link to read would suit better.

19
00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:38.430
If Sam doesn't reply,

20
00:00:38.450 --> 00:00:41.110
the status stays permission pending.

21
00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:42.950
Silence isn't a yes.

22
00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:45.150
After a clear yes,

23
00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:46.830
Maya makes the introduction,

24
00:00:46.850 --> 00:00:48.350
and Leah's first reply

25
00:00:48.370 --> 00:00:50.990
lets Sam choose what happens next.
