I agree with Ash. I would spend some time getting to know him on a personal and work level. That way you develop a relationship with someone higher up on the food chain which may be helpful down the road. If it were me I wouldn't ask for the ISOM's either. Perhaps through getting to know the guy he will end up giving them to you, if not, at least you built another professional relationship.
