Would there ever be the possibility of deciding to meet for three hours on a Tuesday and one hour on a Thursday? Would we have the flexibility or the autonomy as a committee to meet for three hours on a Tuesday and one hour on a Thursday? I get that at this meeting time people are always bumping up against the need to get to the airport.

Thank you all very much. The meeting is adjourned.
