For the ACS example, was this was was the determination that there was an individual who was, interested in in doing this because of their personal position or there was a determination that there was a lack of, information about protocol?

Rebecca Engel

Yeah.

1:40:28

I'm afraid I'm I I don't know.

1:40:30

I just don't know.

1:40:30

Okay.

Manuel Castro

1:40:32

Yeah.

And we it's sometimes I mean, it is hard for us to weigh in on any staff, you know, in HR matters, especially if they are ongoing or open.

1:40:43

But, again, this is to emphasize that there are protocols in place for those individuals who may accidentally or purposefully not follow directives in our, local laws.

Is there any tracking mechanism set up or are you thinking about setting up any tracking to keep note of if if anything like this starts to happen, so that you can start to see if you have a serious pattern happening?
