Okay. And then my other concern is, we talked about diversity and i like what youve done in terms of the work around that. Do we use that same [indiscernible] in terms of rps and other things, do we really apply the sfers criteria for the type of diversity were looking for across the board, including [indiscernible] and other sectors . I cant fully comment on that. I guess what i can say is, you know, there is proposition 209 in place in california i know. Thats why i i know. Up to a vote, thats in november. But we do not i want to make clear that we do not ask about diversity characteristics when we send out an rfp or enter a new relationship or a new contract with an external party. Were wanting to be not running afoul of distortion . The board is engaging, we do request
Ask the public to participate remotely by writing to the board or leaving a voicemail message. For all comments received in advance of the meeting we have received and we appreciate these comments. While Technology Allows us to hold these meetings via teleconference, it may not be as seamless as it would like to be. There will be gaps in some airtime, staff at times the staff transitions between the speakers and the callers. Know that we are doing the best that we possibly can and we ask for your understanding and patience as we are all learning this new way of working together. A reminder to the Board Members to mute themselves to minimize the background noise. Board members will have to remember to unmute themselves to comment.

And i welcome you to the first of the 2004 president ial debates between president george w. Bush, the republican nominee, and senator john kerry, the democratic nominee. These debates are sponsored by the commission on president ial debates. Tonights will last 90 minutes, following detailed rules of engagement worked out by representatives of the candidates. I have agreed to enforce their rules on them. The umbrella topic is Foreign Policy and Homeland Security, but the specific subjects were chosen by me, the questions were composed by me, the candidates have not been told what they are, nor has anyone else. For each question there can only be a twominute response, a 90 second rebuttal and, at my discretion, a discussion extension of one minute. A green light will come on when 30 seconds remain in any given answer, yellow at 15, red at five seconds, and
