The ones who are, being, nominated have not yet been assigned the job.
1:53:26
Let's just be clear.
1:53:27
This is a, nomination process.
1:53:30
Their background has to be investigated even further, so I just wanna make that clear.
1:53:34
But we do have their addresses.
1:53:35
We will send them your testimony.
1:53:38
It is all categorized, archived, etcetera.
1:53:43
So they will get it.
1:53:45
Was a little shocked nobody had read the four points of hardship.
1:53:48
It's all in the, Landmarks Preservation Commission, material.
1:53:54
I've memorized it for obvious reasons, but I would say that that would be something to give me a little bit of pause about.
1:54:00
If you don't know that and you're applying, then even if you're on it, should mention, you may or may not agree with the four criteria, that's up to you, but at least know what they are.
1:54:09
So they will get the material.
1:54:11
Thank you for your testimony.
1:54:13
And for all those who have been so kind to lend your amazing talent, creativity, and, understanding, I am deeply, deeply appreciative.
1:54:21
Thank you.
