I have no objection to hearing from witnesses on Thursday, if it is possible.
In the meantime, however, we should all look at our list so that we are able to submit names. If the witnesses do not come, we can use Thursday’s entire meeting. If they do, and if they finish early enough for us to have time left, we could get back to work and look at the list. We could also talk to each other about what we want, what you want, and maybe reduce the list as much as we can.
