Thanks, Rob. Do you know if others are using slides?

Hi Rob, Thank you for sending this proposed structure. I see Tony is set here to deliver some opening remarks. How long is he expected to speak? 1 min, 3 min, 5 min? And I assume there's no expectation of slides, correct? Thank you, Ian

Hi Ian, It would be ideal if Dr Fauci's remarks could be around 4 minutes, given the number of panelists and need to give a reasonable margin of time for Q's and A's before concluding the session Also, the audience of course will be reasonably current and informed, constituting some 280 senior BMGF and NIH scientists I hope this abbreviated timeframe is workable and happy to accommodate Dr Fauci's preference if more time is desired No problem As you will note, we have given over much of this platform to the African perspective, given both the preliminary findings in South Africa and their outstanding effort to share data rapidly

Here is the "close hold" advance copy of Bill Gates' talk shared by his office, with the minor caveat that he tends to run off-script a bit and improvise
