    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was just about to crack a joke as I went there. We have seen incidences of people who are very informal, but they have specific suits that they have made, which are overall suits. They just put them on, get on to the set up, and get out. I think it is about presentation. In our case, it is indeed about formality. We already have a dress code that we use when we come to the Plenary. That is expected also within the virtual setting. For example, you cannot appear there with a swimming costume, in a designer suit or looking casual because of the nature of the work that we do. Likewise, even when it comes to the pictures that you put in the background. Most of the setups that have already put video conferencing have already set these specific rules. We are also coming in very strongly to contextualize them within the Session of the Senate. Mechanisms for access and admission of witnesses and stakeholders into the meeting are key in the sense of identity. For example, ensuring that the person coming on can do what they are expected to do and is come in at the right time. If they have material, that material has been vetted by the Clerk. This is what the Standing Orders prescribe; that the Clerk vets the material and that people can share the material virtually on the various forums that they are using. Mechanisms for access and admission of the media into the online virtual or remote Plenary has also been put into place in the sense that media is allowed. In many of the Committees where we have met virtually, we have had media being able to come in. The experiences across the world have made people to be innovative. This report gives in details, and I will not go into that, the various experiences and benchmarking that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
