2:31:08Um but you're losing a quorum. All right,

Outside counsel would like to meet with you in a litigation assessment meeting. Um I would propose uh Um based on chair's absence at the next meeting and the if

2:32:34that's still on the the cards and the fact that we've got a bond signing over the break to do it on the November fourteenth meeting during your either immediately after morning business or at lunch.
