Attendees calling in can use star six to mute and unmute in the Zoom platform and star nine to raise your hand. And I'm coming back to the thing to see if anyone's raised their hand, which they haven't. So here we go to the agenda, which starts with last month. So I'm looking for you all to look at the agenda from last month, not the agenda, the meeting minutes, and I'm looking for a motion to approve those minutes, after which we can make edits if necessary. Catherine, is that a motion to approve? Yes, I motion to approve. Okay, and I have got a second from Nina. I will assume no edits are needed, and you notice consent on that motion to approve with a second, unless I see a hand, which I don't. So that motion passes, and we have approved, and now we are at public comment. Are there any public comments? No public comments this m …
