We are very much looking forward to speaking to you tomorrow at 6pm Tbilisi time and my apologies for the delay in getting these questions over to you.

Here is the link to join us on the call: https://squadcast.page.link/mJKv

I'm detailing here some technical information in advance so that we can get as good a recording as possible, and I will also run through these points at the beginning of the call:

Equipment:
- Please wear headphones plugged into the computer
- I'm not sure which of you has recording equipment or not, but our ideal situation is for you to have a microphone plugged into the computer and then hold the audio recorder very close to your mouth during the call (this way we can record via the call and also on your device to see which is better)
- If you do not have an external microphone and only one that's within your headphones please try not to touch or move the microphone too much or let it rub against your shirt
- If you do not have an audio recorder we would ask you to use your smartphone, which we will ask you to hold up to your mouth (and have on airplane mode)

Other points for a good quality recording:

• Please find as quiet a room as possible where you won't be interrupted
• Try not to be near a window where traffic or outside noises will occur
• A room with soft furnishings is great (a living room or bedroom rather than a kitchen for example)
• Check for anything that may cause a 'hum' in the background of the recording (fridge or fan for example)
• Close down all programmes running and all browser tabs on your computer (especially closing anything that is going to ping or beep! - email, whatsapp!)
• Again, we will also run through these on the call with you.

Very many thanks and looking forward to speaking with you.
