Topics to be covered in this interview include:

• There seemed to be a lot on interest back in 2008-2010. Why did things stall?
• In a recent report the Treasury Department endorsed eNotes. How will this help adoption?
• Other than what the Treasury noted in their report, are there adoption issues that need to be addressed?
• There's a lot about momentum starting to build, but what is the real benefit to the industry?
• Do lenders and consumers have to wait until all the adoptions issues have been addressed or can they get some benefit now?
