Barack Obama began preparing for his transition to the White House several months ago, and formally established his transition office right after his election. But the team planning his inaugural, set for Jan. 20, is just starting to take shape.
One person who is expected to play a prominent role on the inaugural committee is William Daley, according to people close to the process.
Mr. Daley was commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton, is a brother of the mayor of Chicago and a member of the Obama inner circle.
