I am the Executive Director of third party Equality California (EQCA). I have personal knowledge of the facts stated below and, if called upon as a witness, could testify competently to such facts. 2. I submit this declaration in response to the Court's February 25, 2010 order (Docket # 602) requesting third party EQCA submit a declaration containing the names of executive committee members, campaign committee members, and consultants, as well as a description of a reasonable search methodology. 3. EQCA is an organization dedicated to achieving equality and securing the legal protection of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. As Executive Director of EQCA, I lead the legislative efforts, as well as the political action committee activities and educational work of EQCA. Also as part of my role as Executive Director of EQCA, I was a member of the Executive Committee of the No on 8 - Equality for All campaign ("Equality for All"). 4. As described in my declaration submitted to the Court on February 22, 2010, and 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 which I herein incorporate by reference as it pertains to the structure of Equality for All, the Equality for All campaign involved over 100 member organizations and discussion of campaign strategy and messaging took place at many levels of the campaign. Because of the structure of the campaign, the organization capable of defining a core group for the entire campaign is Equality for All. However, it is my understanding that Proponents have made a choice not to move to compel against Equality for All. As a result, while I will endeavor to provide as complete a listing as possible, I do not have knowledge of the entire core group for the campaign. However, as one person in an enormous statewide campaign and as Executive Director of one of the largest LGBT rights organizations in the state, I regularly communicated with hundreds of people regarding strategy and messaging ­ the people listed here are a partial listing of all of those people. Accordingly, I necessarily must reserve the right to add people to the core group who had significant involvement and participation in campaign strategy and messaging and are later identified during the review of EQCA's emails or otherwise.

There may be additional people who participated in discussions of campaign strategy and messaging.

Reasonable Search Methodology 9. As described in James Carroll's declaration submitted to the Court on February 2, 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2010, and which I herein incorporate by reference as it pertains to EQCA's email system, EQCA uses a central email server. While many emails are stored on the central server, individual staff members can archive email messages and save those archives on their individual computers. Approximately 75 people at EQCA could have potentially relevant emails, which would require copying 75 hard drives. I have been informed by IT personnel at EQCA's pro bono counsel, Fenwick & West LLP, that copying 75 hard drives could take more than a week and that a conservative estimate of the amount a client would be quoted would be $30,000 for collecting and processing the email. It is the normal practice of EQCA to delete the email accounts and all saved email of staff members who leave the organization approximately 30 days after their employment with EQCA has been terminated. 10. EQCA has approximately 27 to 30 gigabytes of email stored on its Microsoft Exchange email server. I have been informed by IT personnel at EQCA's pro bono counsel that collecting and processing that amount of email would require several days of work at a cost of $14,000 to $20,000. It would require a significant number of hours to review that many emails in order to determine which emails contained relevant information and were communicated to SUPP. DECL.

Accordingly, requiring EQCA to collect, process, review and produce all of these emails and documents would be an incredible burden. In order to reduce the burden on third party EQCA of complying with an order to produce relevant emails, EQCA proposes several steps to reduce the amount of email to be collected and searched. 12. Many of the staff and board members of EQCA joined campaign-related email lists and as a result received numerous emails each week during the campaign. The vast majority of these emails are not relevant. They contain event announcements, fundraising updates, meeting plans and other non-strategic subjects. EQCA proposes that only email sent by EQCA staff members should be collected and reviewed, rather than all email sent and received. This will eliminate a large number of regular weekly campaign updates that EQCA staff members received during the campaign. 13. EQCA proposes that only the email of EQCA staff members with significant roles 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 in EQCA's efforts to raise funds for the campaign be collected and reviewed. As noted in my declaration submitted to the Court on February 22, 2010, Equality for All is the organization that coordinated the No on 8 ­ Equality for All campaign, not EQCA. As an organization, EQCA was tasked with fundraising for the Equality for All campaign. 14. Proposition 8 qualified for the ballot on June 2, 2008. Discussions of campaign strategy and messaging to convey to the voters after the proposition qualified EQCA proposes that only email sent by EQCA staff between June 2, 2008 and November 4, 2008 be collected and reviewed. 15. Finally, EQCA proposes that the following search terms be used to reduce the number of email to be reviewed: "No on 8," "Yes on 8," "Prop 8," "Proposition 8," "Equality for All," "Marriage Equality," and "ProtectMarriage.com." 16. These proposals will reduce the burden on third party EQCA while still including the most relevant email communications regarding the EQCA's involvement in the No on 8 Equality for All campaign.
