Script:
Before we start today′s meeting I would like to check which of you will be able to attend the conference starting next Saturday. As you know I was planning to attend myself, but due to a clash with the shareholders′ meeting, I won′t be able to make both days of the conference. I would appreciate it if a couple of you could attend the conference and take notes on the three plenary discussions scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The presentations shouldn′t last more than about two hours. I realize that this is scheduled for a non-working day, so I would be open to arranging a swap for those people attending, allowing you to take a half-day off another day. If you are interested in this, please come and see me at the end of the meeting. Right, let′s move on to the first point of the day...
