[NAGDU] Division meeting

It was indeed great to have the ability to listen remotely. The sound problem was simply that the microphone was much too far away from speakers. Also, as others have pointed out, there was technology talking in the background. Those things happen.


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

I too and very grateful for the opportunity to participate virtually.
Unfortunately, even with headphones is very difficult for me to hear what was going on. I had to leave the meeting early cuz I really was getting enough out of nothing out of it. That being said I do appreciate the effort. I hope we can get a transcript or a good recording or something for both sessions. I would love to listen or at least review it again. Thank you so much for the effort it's truly appreciated.
