I'll leave it to you to handle ensuring that if they decide to pass on our proposal, that they will instead schedule their session for the week following so the timing works out properly for both groups. Are we agreed on this approach ???

For example, would they be willing to meet during the week of March 20-25 so we avoid the possible overlap ???
