If a question and answer period is required. the speakers will cue the operator when they are ready to take questions and the operator will give instructions to the participants on how to raise their hand to ask a question of the speakers. The operator will go through all participants who have raised their hands and inform the speakers when there are no further questions. When the speakers have concluded with their presentation, everyone may disconnect from the conference.
A rebroadcast of the conference will be available two hours after the call is complete. Any parties who are interested in listening to the rebroadcast may dial in to retrieve the recording. The recording is password protected for added security.
