So unless some of the witnesses can't appear on Wednesday, we have Wednesday looked after.
Now, what I want to do is to go in camera to hear from our analysts.

I think if we're going to have witnesses lined up for next week's meeting, so we're not.... It's bad enough that we're having four hours a week without using an hour or two of that for planning sessions every week. We do need to set aside other time.
So I think we need to decide right now on a time for a steering committee meeting. I'll throw out 8:45 on Thursday morning. I think that's a reasonable time to have a steering committee meeting. Maybe we can hear from the other parties as to whether that works.

Thank you.
My understanding was that you had said the staff were looking for a bit more time to make the plans. I don't have a problem meeting on Thursday morning, but I'd rather make sure that we have all the data coming back. So I'd rather hear from them and then worry about whether we meet this Thursday or the start of next week.

Thank you to those who have been sitting in.
