our request of all participants:

OUR REQUEST OF YOU: In order to obtain the best possible sound for these 
calls, it is recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6 
which puts you in a mute mode. You will be able to hear everything during 
the call but background noise from your location will not disturb others 
listening in on the conversation. When you wish to speak and enter the 
discussion, press star 6 once again and you will be released from the mute 
mode and able to participate.

Also, it is highly recommended of all participants, that each person wishing 
to speak, state his or her name, and wait for the monitor to recognize you 
before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek the floor at one 
time and chaos can occur. The monitors will do their very best to recognize 
as many callers as possible however, they will determine the order in which 
speakers have the floor.

When finished with your comments, press star 6 once again to go back into 
the mute mode, to facilitate better, uncluttered communication for everyone.
