Are any others in agreement? If so, it would be good to arrange a time
as soon as possible. I know Ravi is on the west coast and it would be
great to have him call in but 9 is a bit late...
Can we meet earlier and then Ravi can call in at some point during the
meeting? I can do any time after 6pm on Wednesday.
