> ************************************************* hello thank you for the agenda, I am not sure yet if I can get to the meeting today in person, but I would love to attend it by the zoom link, I’m surprised it wasn’t given in the end of the message, we are having a component for it I’m hoping?
Look forward to hearing from everyone on the meeting, and this is a very interesting agenda. One everyone have a good early Monday.
Sincerely,

Stephen Yerardi.
