Yeah, good question, Monte. And I think what I heard discussed is that we're gonna, we're gonna have a more robust discussion about that at the work session to sort of calendar it backwards, because this is going to require at a minimum an additional 30, probably 45 days in between sort of when the, when, um, when the board's last regular in-cycle meeting is, um, and when the actual codification can happen and those reg books get printed for the public for the season. So I'm not quite sure exactly what those dates are, but, you know, we're very sensitive to trying to be able to complete this process prior to June 1st so that the public, at least prior to June 1st, so that the public can know what the rules are as you guys enter the season. But, It's a good question, and I would just again sort of raise the flag for everybody to pay attention to the Board's notifications, the public notices for not only this meeting that is being contemplated but also meetings between, you know, now and probably the next couple months because I suspect that we're going to have to have additional conversation or process development after the work session. So folks have some time to comment on the discussion, the more robust conversation that we're going to have at the work session with the full board.
