Thank you. Thank you very much, chair yee. Andrew shen, deputy city attorney. Good afternoon again. At the request of the director of elections, there are a few minor amendments and what i just distributed to the committee, just to highlight them to you, ive actually colored them in yellow. And i can explain this. Really basically one set of changes that causes some further amendments to be made.
