I asked Ted Price (tax director) to schedule a meeting so the 3 of us could synch up - I'll follow up
from my side to see what happened there. We will not march forward with any plans until all constituents
are bought off. Like I said if we can create satisfying " business presence " , a large data center is
likely not required. Sheryl seemed to feel that she could hire for the business presence in Ireland as
she has done so in the past at Google.
I'm around Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week, so let's plan to synch up in person.
Thanks,
Cipora

Have we already concluded Ireland is the top choice ? Last year, Gideon volunteered to opt1m1ze tax
strategies based on data center location. When we decided not to build a data center in 2008, I lost
track of our international plans and timeline.
Are we realistically planning on building a call center or other staff center there? sales has already
hired a substantial presence in London and my team has been interviewing folks to wor k in London
(including 1 guy who's trying to relo from Google in Ireland!) The absolute number of people is fairly
low in the grand scheme, I'd imagine these efforts can be redirected if we ' re changing course.
Ireland is not a first or second choice for a significant data center presence. I'm happy to chat
further , I was only informed of this decision by Sheryl in a hallway conversation.
Thanks.

Ted and I will discuss with JH. The issue with the data center is not necessarily the headcount presence,
but rather the servers and the information contained therein. One of the key factors to establishing the
tax advantages lays with the transfer of IP from the us domestic entity to the internatl HQ. The servers
and the key source code and user data help build the case for IP presence.
We can discuss what that needs to/ should look like. It probably does not preclude us from having a large
data center elsewhere, but some presence in IRL will be very beneficial.
Thanks,
Cipora

Follow up from our meeting yesterday:
Spoke to Mark. Mark is fine with any recommendation that Gideon and I support.
Ireland our top choice if we can work out specifics.

We can consider

Spoke to Jonathan (copied on this). Ireland is not ideal for a data center but as Jonathan
points out, a dada center has very few jobs. Given that we have a limited amount of hiring we will do
anywhere - we just don't need that many people in anything yet - is it ok for the data ce nt er in Europe
to be elsewhere?
