The T-RAB
35:53 – Question: Thanks Subhash, and so finally our last question here is about the Technology Roadmap Advisory Board, or what we call the T-RAB. The question is: Can you please discuss the T-RAB? Can you elaborate what advice has been received from the T-RAB and how it relates to POET’s roadmap?
36:12 – Answer: So, on March 30th, 2015, the company announced the formation of the Technology Roadmap Advisory Board. So, as stated in the company’s press release at that time, the T-RAB is acting as advisors to the Board of Directors and the executive team. Their primary focus is on optimizing and accelerating this company’s lab-to-fab transition and commercialization plan. So, by its very nature, the work that the T-RAB does is, of course, internal, it’s sensitive and extremely confidential. I mean, they are helping us set our future strategy. The company has announced its current focus and plan and some of this is in fact reflective of the work and recommendations of the T-RAB. The T-RAB is also working on a number of downstream initiatives in addition to the immediate short-term goals of the company. We cannot comment on specific contributions or work by the T-RAB or its individual members until such time as material events transpire, which necessitates public disclosure. So, premature disclosure or speculation in this regard, at this point, would not be appropriate.
