00:00:00.054 --> 00:00:04.120
So I’d like to start with
just general thanks.

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:05.819
I think this meeting
has gone really well.

00:00:05.819 --> 00:00:08.710
We’ve gotten some
really nice feedback.

00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:11.030
We’d like to encourage
more of that feedback.

00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:14.550
Please send Sarah and me,
or anyone that you feel comfortable

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.660
corresponding with in this group
that’s shown up on the screen,

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:23.939
any suggestions you have
or atta-boys or anything.

00:00:23.939 --> 00:00:28.289
We are – we’ll soon move
into planning for next year,

00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:34.010
and so one of our questions is,
even if we’re all back in our offices,

00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:39.570
should we have this meeting virtually?
Or should we do it in part virtually?

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:42.470
So your thoughts about
how best to do that.

00:00:42.470 --> 00:00:46.260
I’ve been amazed at how
well these virtual meetings

00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:49.620
the last two years have gone.
I was not excited about it,

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:55.210
but I think they’ve been –
they’ve been really amazingly great.

00:00:55.210 --> 00:01:01.810
And so, to that point, thank you to this
group that’s shown here on the screen.

00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:04.920
This is the organizing committee.
Sarah is our leader.

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.899
So, if everyone wouldn’t mind turning
on their microphones and doing

00:01:08.899 --> 00:01:13.170
a round of applause for these people,
especially Sarah, our leader,

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:15.265
I think that
would be great.

00:01:15.265 --> 00:01:20.990
[applause]

00:01:20.990 --> 00:01:24.790
And I’d like to also thank
everyone in the audience.

00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:29.850
I think the sort of tone and
fun-loving nature of the –

00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:36.650
of the discussions and the chats
and even, for this dog lover,

00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:42.250
the mention of cats
so frequently is okay.

00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:47.139
So also thanks to John,
who is our technology guru.

00:01:47.139 --> 00:01:51.380
He really adds
fun-loving and nature –

00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:55.421
his fun-loving nature to
this and makes it enjoyable.

00:01:55.421 --> 00:02:00.999
And, perhaps most importantly for me,
that whole end of it is something

00:02:00.999 --> 00:02:03.609
that Sarah and I and
everyone else on this committee

00:02:03.609 --> 00:02:06.185
doesn’t really
have to worry about.

00:02:08.335 --> 00:02:12.160
And the last – the last point I’d like
to make is, I really – when people

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:16.730
compliment me on this meeting,
especially during the meeting –

00:02:16.730 --> 00:02:23.480
I thank John for the
virtual aspect, and that’s true.

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:29.459
And I – and I [chimes] [inaudible]
great contribution from the participants

00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:32.420
and the speakers, but I think the
reason these meetings are

00:02:32.420 --> 00:02:38.270
so successful is because this
organizing committee is so devoted.

00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:41.819
And they do a great job identifying
speakers and putting together sessions.

00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:46.849
And I, for one,
really appreciate that.

00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:53.900
So we could hang out for a long time,
but I think I’m getting hoarse. [laughs]

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:56.870
If anyone would like to share any
comments, again, please do feel free

00:02:56.870 --> 00:03:01.750
to drop your impressions into
an email or a text, or however you

00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:05.659
want to communicate, to anyone
on the organizing committee.

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:10.489
And thank you, and may be early
to say this, but I’m thinking of it as,

00:03:10.489 --> 00:03:14.912
have a great weekend. Sarah,
did you want to say something?

00:03:14.912 --> 00:03:16.249
[background music]

00:03:16.249 --> 00:03:20.193
- Well, since Keith thanked everyone
else, let’s take a moment to thank Keith.

00:03:20.193 --> 00:03:22.549
[clapping]

00:03:22.549 --> 00:03:28.109
And also, I think, finally, let’s thank
all of you because, right, everyone’s

00:03:28.109 --> 00:03:32.430
wonderful participation, thoughts,
ideas, work, discussion is what

00:03:32.430 --> 00:03:35.924
makes this workshop so great.
So everyone, give themselves a big

00:03:35.924 --> 00:03:40.335
round of applause, and then,
as Keith said, happy almost weekend.

00:03:40.335 --> 00:03:43.171

00:03:43.171 --> 00:03:44.578
