NOW WE'RE DOWN TO NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS NEW BUSINESS, WHICH IS RULES AND PROCEDURES UPDATE.

JAMIE? YES SIR.

I JUST HAD A BRIEF, REALLY A QUICK BRIEFING, UH, FOR THE RULES AND PROCEDURES.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN KIND OF AT LEAST GUIDING YOU GUYS AND JUST EXPLAINING THAT THIS WAS GONNA TAKE PLACE.

I AM WORKING ON IT AS, AS KIND OF, I'M SPEAKING TO A CERTAIN DEGREE.

SO MY PLAN IS TO HOPEFULLY HAVE THIS READY FOR, UH, THE ATTORNEYS TO REVIEW SOMEWHERE IN THE PROCESS OF NOW AND BEFORE THE NEXT HEARING.

I'M GONNA DO MY BEST TO TRY TO WORK WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON GETTING THAT STRUCTURE AT LEAST.

AND THEN THAT WAY ONCE IT GETS RELEASED OUT TO YOU ALL, YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO REVIEW IT AND IF THERE'S ANY INPUT THAT COMES OFF FROM THE BOARD, WE CAN TRY TO INCORPORATE THAT AS WELL.

SO I JUST WANTED TO AT LEAST PROVIDE THAT AS AN UPDATE TO TELL YOU I AM STILL WORKING THROUGH IT.

YEAH.

GREAT.

SO WOULD WE POTENTIALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY A WEEK OR TWO AHEAD OF TIME FROM A MEETING TO GO THROUGH REVIEW? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY MY EXPECTATION FOR MYSELF TO SET FOR, UH, AT LEAST GETTING THAT OUT TO YOU GUYS.

DEFINITELY.

YEAH.

AWESOME.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME JUST SO THAT WAY YOU CAN, IF THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND, UM, WE CAN DEFINITELY ASSESS IT AND SEE A, TRY TO FIT THAT IN, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

WELL, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE COULD ADD TO THIS EVENING TO HELP SHORTEN THE PROCESS SINCE WE HAVE A SHORT MEETING OR ARE WE NOT THERE YET? NOT QUITE, NOT QUITE UNFORTUNATELY, BUT, UM, I FEEL PRETTY STRONG THAT I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO HOPEFULLY GET THAT TURNED AROUND, UM, THIS TIME.

AND I'M GONNA DO MY BEST TO AIM BEFORE THE NEXT HEARING TO GET IT AT LEAST TO WHERE YOU GUYS HAVE A DRAFT.

YEP.

SOUNDS GREAT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA TARGET FOR.

YEP.

THANK YOU.

YES SIR.

UM, SO WE FINISHED THE NEW BUSINESS AND WE'RE AT THE END OF WHAT WE HAVE LISTED ON THE MEETING.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? COULD WE REVIEW THE UPCOMING DATES? I'VE GOT A CONFLICT ON A COUPLE OF DATES THAT I PUT IN MY CALENDAR AND I DON'T WANNA GET THE WRONG ONE.
