The next item on the agenda is the date for the next meeting. Two dates have been suggested, actually - December 16th and also December 9th. There are two other committee meetings the day of December 9th, but Jana tells me that it is possible to fit us in if we are very good boys and girls and don't argue and just appoint people to boards, like we're supposed to do.
MR. MICHEL SAMSON: I move December 9th.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is it agreed?
There will be a change of time; the starting time would be 11:00 a.m. We'll only schedule one hour - I don't think we'll need it, it will be for appointments only - at which time we'll set the next meeting date. So December 9th at 11:00 a.m.
There's no further business, so we stand adjourned. Thank you.
[The committee adjourned at 9:08 a.m.]
