12:45 would probably work (we should be at lunch by then and I should be around). The sign-in sheets from yesterday are under today’s sheets at the room entrance, and the comment forms (in order, and the numbers do not always correspond to the order…which you’ll see) and written testimony (in order, but not numbered/assigned) are on a table by my seat in the room.
