Thanks, Chris.  It was my understanding that this initial call would  
be between your office and NCSG to understand the nature of the  
mediation request and background for context.  It might just be you,  
me and Avri on the line initially.

Friday 14 December at 14:00 (Pacific)

Thank you,
Robin
