After the Abbey Road meeting, Dinah gave each person present an envelope containing a Perplex City Postcard and a print-out of this email conversation:

I hardly think that's necessary.

What a cool idea, I love it. All we'd need to do is sanitize our email exchange by removing reference to things like xxxx, print it out, and then give it to whoever turns up on the day (I'm now thinking Dinah should do this btw!) This could be the last email of our exchange we publish.

Unless of course you follow this one with a witty reply that our hard-core webcam and ground ops friends would enjoy.

Not sure yet.

I've been thinking that it would be nice to give the people that turn up something extra. Problem is we haven't really jot time to plan anything more elaborate at this stage. I'll have a think on it tonight.

I'm not happy with the reliability of that webcam, do you have any other suggestions? I have a SFC meeting now, let's discuss this later.

Fair point.

Makes sense to do something in London then.

xxxx suggested doing something with a webcam? That way people who can't get to London can still see what's going on.

One of the guys from the office could be on the bench outside this pub or sitting in one of the windows above it:

He could then give the text fragment to anyone who approached him with a password??

This is the text by the way:

xxxx mentioned the NY suggestion. It seems perfectly appropriate.

I'm anxious we don't spend any more time on this than necessary. As you know, pressure is intensifying now. It's important we remain focused on key objectives.

Hi Sente

I agree. We were actually talking about this last night. I think xxxx mentioned the New York idea to you? Everyone over here seems happy with it.

This only leaves one slot. I'll get back to you later - I'll go and ask the others if they've had any new ideas on this.

Please confirm your plans regarding the final two video slots. xxxx mentioned you had been investigating some alternative strategies. I see no harm in changing tack.
