guess one of our 221 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,800 questions would be do we still have to 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,720 file an application because we received 223 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,720 some news from uh Mr Matan and uh Mrs 224 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,240 Porterfield prior to the meeting so do 225 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480 we still have to file an application or 226
