Given the participants' request to protect certain sensitive business information, public observation will be limited to the opening statements and will take place via delayed broadcast. The broadcast of the opening statements will take place on Tuesday, 23 August at 10 a.m.  Public observation of the closing statements may be authorized subject to the limitations posed by the participants' request to protect sensitive business information.  Further information on whether the closing statements will be broadcast and, if so, the date and location, will be announced in due course.
