Sure, we can provide you those stats. I should just clarify, though, the number around the applications. I was speaking specifically about the most recent, and it's well over 500. We could look at giving you the total of applicants we've had on the IRB side since the new process.

I'm sorry to cut you off.

We'll end this part of the meeting. I'm looking for a very quick turnaround as we move in camera to do about 10 minutes of committee business.

I'll suspend the meeting for one minute while we make sure the appropriate people are in the room for an in camera meeting.
