It was a good discussion and all macro about how public pension funds look at things or do things and what other funds are doing or thinking. We talked a lot ‘about the political or headline risk around pubic funds and ways funds get ahead of that. The only specific “deal” discussion was on Encap and Encap’s thoughts regarding Hamilton Lane’s response time. He is, as you know, a very strong supporter of your programs and initiatives and was extremely complimentary of what you are doing. That's it.
