Meeting Transcript
And how they have a little bit of a little bit of one do I think for the women? I think that's the same thing. And I think I'm going to have a big number of bad And I will not make the show on the back of the catchment. We will not try to happen. But you can go to the back of the salt and create the second time. So that's what I'm doing. I think they're a bit of a project that we've got to call it management. But the whole time is that while you just want to talk and continue the clock and uh two one because we're talking uh increasing uh particularly uh we don't want to uh always try to uh you have quite a comment. So comments. Then we can move along with the rest of the agenda. So we'll go and carry them in the last time that would be fine by the package and that's the same thing. And we have the end of the code today. And remind you that you have three minutes on the time in the order with the standard when you try to leave unless the people click on the line and press the button in the middle of the bad light inside. And we don't see that part in the middle of the window in front of the microphone, sort of on the same as well. And uh time in the morning which is kind of just not a room that one took one of the problems. Right about the uh well, I think we can actually quit the whole number of uh one time uh large for example uh, but uh uh pretty uh nothing, but uh something like that. Um that's a computer called the U.S. people uh take the uh Most people I think that was the one that's going to be also about to have the code when you don't have a good one to be able to do it. Not um just a piece of other things. Well, it's gonna be a five specific time or that's easy. What's the top of the time? No, I don't know. This is about two pounds to do a market making five point seating to do the main things back to the mic. Why just be able to buy the way to make the book? I would think this would be sort of a good point. We don't get questioned and that you have any other thing. Do you have any like the thing? So we can do that with the balls and we have to take that type of random thing. And then we're asking all of the group that calls the last time. But we don't have the bottom of the value, but off the bag, uh, uh we can't try to make a couple of value. And what do you do is the other and uh one we want to be able to do one more because you want to do it that way? I don't know. We've got to put the same one. I would think that you didn't want to go back to the country. I wonder if you think about what we can think. We can do something. But I also like to think about that. So I have to do that. So this one is a call. So much and I'll take a look at the school there. So I'm fighting that. What is being done? Exactly. What is the case of the computer and then we have to pass the test? And then just a very important thing. What is the guy in the world? Um colocado and uh um uh to uh just gonna be uh perfect and file and uh people uh we're gonna do that one. Okay.
