During
the open forum portion of the call we allow any caller to address the
group with any questions or comments they have. Due to our desire to
allow everyone that wishes to address the group have the chance to do
so we try and limit the time for questions to as short a period as
possible and try to avoid "going down rabbit holes". To address
the group during the open forum portion of the call you can use the
following key combinations on your telephone:
- *5 will let us know you want to talk and put you in queue to be called on
When it's your turn we'll unmute your line and call out the last
four of your phone number and wait for you to respond. If you fail to
answer after three tries then we'll move along to the next caller.
For general purposes please don't use your speaker phone.
