>I understand, in the past, we have had people join us from other 
>time zones such as Hawaii.  We are delighted that you have joined 
>the call and hope you will continue to do so.  Please determine for 
>yourself the time to enter the call if you live in another time 
>zone  other than those listed above.
>the call if missed, can be listened to again with a playback number 
>which will be given a few hours after the calls have taken place. 
>The main playback number is:  712-432-1202.  You will then be asked 
>to choose from a menu of numbers from 1 to about 13 up to 17 as each 
>call is put on the list in sequence of dates in which the conference 
>call took place.
>
>In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, it is 
>recommended that each caller, after dialing in, press star 6 which 
>puts you in a mute mode.  You will be able to hear everything during 
>the call but background noise from your location will not disturb 
>others listening in on the conversation.  When you wish to speak and 
>enter the discussion, press star 6 once again and you will be 
>released from the mute mode and able to participate.
>
>It is also highly recommended that each person wishing to speak 
>state his or her name and wait for the moderator to recognize you 
>before speaking.  We can have too many people trying to seek the 
>floor at one time and chaos can occur.  The moderator will do his 
>very best to recognize as many callers as possible however, he will 
>determine the order in which speakers poceed.
>
>Again, when finished with your comments, press star 6 once again to 
>go back into mute mode to facilitate better, uncluttered 
>communication for everyone. If using your speaker on your phone, you 
>can also put the star 6 mute mode and listen just the 
>same.  However, in the past, we have heard people moving about their 
>home with their speaker on.  So, please, please use the star 6 
>mute  mode so you and everyone else can hear more clearly.
>
>Please share this information with your friends and especially 
>newcomers to the federation family.  I look forward to hearing and 
>speaking with many of you in the next several weeks.
