Thanks very much.

Professor Geist, thanks for joining us.

We heard testimony earlier that maybe it wasn't our idea to extend copyright, that we didn't want it, but accepted it in consideration of the totality of the agreement and its benefits overall.

I take it that you would have us make a recommendation that this committee has previously made, which is that we should encourage the government to take the 30-month period to create a registration framework for the extension of 20 years. Is that right?
