A question from Zach. Probably trying to fix and rebuild this rule when there's no need. Potential scenario where it felt like we had a lot of observers and the clerk may in that circumstance choose not to appoint a liaison. And I mean, I understand as a judgment call maybe you wouldn't do that, but I'm just wondering, is there a scenario where we have observers and they're not able to liaise in the way that they should because use this discretion not to make someone available to them? I think that— well, he's there to answer the questions, and so if the court— they'll be getting the questions and best interests to hire— appoint a liaison, also take care of their regular responsibilities.
