Hi Gary

Belinda all is good

10 seconds :)

@Belinda we have our first question in the Q/A chat box

hope that was OK

Very good, Arif - super clear. Thank you!

Should we see Nandini's slides?

I don't see them

A man just checking when speaking on gender issues:)

:)

she is giving the audience a task first

ok

and will share shortly

10 seconds!

Loly any answers

@Belinda we have 6 Qs: I suggest we start with Gary as he was the first one

ok

if there is then someone who raises his/her hand we can take that Q and come back to the chat Q/A

Q from Karishma is particularly relevant as it pertains to small states so do prioritize as well

agree

yes agree

@Nandini if you want to answer directly Helen please feel free

she was one of the lead authors of the Commonwealth Digital Connectivity Report

thank you Arif. I couldn't see her on the attendees list

Karishma

Yes have flagged with Belinda

@tamara, will answer directly with Helen's question

thank you. I think it is best

Tks. This was a hot topic at the CW Digital Connectivity mtg which GSMA we attended and the Trade Min mtg in London last Oct which I can mention

Karishma's point

@Oliver perhaps you can address Gerald's questions directly as well

I can't see on my screen if anyone is putting up their hand. Loly/Tamara can you see?

@Belinda if no one raises their hand we can address the question from Gary Fowlie next

I cant see anyone either

noone has raised their hand yet

Tamara it is ok we have questions in the Q&A

we do yes

just monitoring the attendees as well in case someone raises his/her hand

@Belinda we can take the next Q from Sangeeta Khorana

the other qs look too specific

Yes. As we are out of time please feel free to answer the rest of the audience members directly. @Nandini last Q is for you.

Belinda, happy to also help answer this q

final comment from all to close?

second to last

Arif Vanessa is delivering closing remarks

and then Belinda will also say a few words

that's why we don't have time

After Namdini finishes answering I will move to Vanessa's wrapup

sounds good

Belinda: final quick comment after Nandini

very quick!

sure

tks for letting me to make this point Belinda and sorry for the typing Nandini!

no worries Arif! we've all been there. :)

:)

thank you all!

great closing remarks!

wonderful!

Thank you everyone!

Thank you!!

That was a super panel

well done Vanessa!
