I don't recall that the council discussed the NCA aspects in
particular.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the Council Thomas.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If anyone has questions, I would suggest they not burden you by directing
them at you, but instead direct them at the Leadership team. We can then work
with staff to clarify what needs to be for people.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So if anyone has questions, please put them to us.</DIV>
