Information & Ethics committee  Those are our former partners and, obviously, to be respectful to them we can't state dollar amounts, but allow me to state that they would be very generous to the organization.

Information & Ethics committee  I appreciate this opportunity. To provide context, I think people think there was a call to us completely out of the blue.
