  Silvia Vivanco:Business cards and brochures are in the works

  Ali AlMeshal:yes

  Maureen Hilyard:Sorry I seem to be losing audio occasionally on the phone bridge, and then AC collapses occasionally - nothings perfect :)

  Satish Babu:Yes Maureen, AC has been somewhat unstable...

  Gisella Gruber:Part 2 is 1h30 (90min) to fit in with Block schedule
