<DIV><SPAN class=906003415-31012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please note that we
will be spending about 30 minutes in today's meeting briefly going over this so
if you are able to view it during the meeting that would be helpful. I
fully understand that most people will not have time to read the full document
before the meeting and I want to make clear that that is not expected. The
plan for today's call is simply to familiarize everyone with the document and
not to discuss content; we will discuss content in detail in New
Delhi.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=906003415-31012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>For ease of
reference line numbers were added to the document. In MS Word you can see
them in Print Preview. They will make it easy to reference sections of the
document and hopefully will facilitate the overview we do today as well as the
thorough review in New Delhi.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
