MS HORN: I would propose that in the POST REPORTING SERVICE HAMDEN, CT (800) 262-4102 RE: CT STEM CELL RESEARCH ADVISORY COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 18, 2008 event that any grant’s funding did not come to fruition DR MYRON GENEL: issue was there were a couple of escrow issues it was the Parkinson’s grant that we were that did not that we were more concerned with at the time MS HORN: I think as I recall the That’s correct I believe And I did go back and look at the transcript and I don’t recall which clairvoyant person on the Committee made this comment but there was a statement that it was not just one particular 10 grant that might fail, it might be if any grant was not 11 able to be funded 12 So DR GENEL: Well, wouldn’t a more specific 13 comment then be in the event that escrow approval was not 14 obtained by the grants approved? 15 issue really we approved funding pending escrow approval 16 CHAIRMAN GALVIN: Because I think the I think we’re looking 17 for a little more generic statement 18 VOICE: Can I suggest you just strike it 19 after the word, category, period 20 the sentence 21 CHAIRMAN GALVIN: Strike the remainder of So what you want to POST REPORTING SERVICE HAMDEN, CT (800) 262-4102 RE: CT STEM CELL RESEARCH ADVISORY COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 18, 2008 is say were put into the reserved category, period, and delete in the event the Evergen escrow approval did not come to fruition? MS HORN: CHAIRMAN GALVIN: VOICE: CHAIRMAN GALVIN: And you had a comment MR MANDELKERN: Well, that was I said That would be fine Is that okay? That’s fine Bob? 10 because generically we didn’t have escrow approval on any 11 grant that we had approved 12 funding 13 would move the acceptance of the minutes with that 14 correction 15 We needed the escrow before So I think that covers it and I would move I CHAIRMAN GALVIN: Okay I think that 16 we’ve been moved and seconded and everybody understands 17 what we’ve changed 18 as amended, this is the November telephonic meeting, 19 indicate by saying aye?
