Meeting Transcript
And I think what's the whole thing about the one reason to be free to do around 50 minutes and have the back in the back and have money about that we can do that and we can go into it. Not only to expand, but also to the easy thing that you would buy them and then go to the body. the body community not only to expand but also we also can then just uh we'll continue to point out the other thing to do to the same time we take a look at my five and we'll make a stuff if you can make it happen what you think is something more than that one take a new and put to that one reason people think that they have to be able to be able to do it more things like that and just like this we will now continue with the confrontative confronting like three times and that's something we have to have a point we have finding that we can And that's why that's the climate point. We have finding that we have to make the recommendation for such a seat. And I think that we need to work with the colour and point for anything. So we're going to think that one thing announcements called control is that we are open to the public and side and side and reach near the top. And that forms also on the phone code on the website. One thing that we're not covering is around the community in any form of things like a file. So I want the problem to be aware we understand that sometimes people can be out of the people. But we also have to follow the guy to call the side provider.
