--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): Let's get started. We need to coordinate our response to the DOJ CID. I'll start by sharing some context. The CID was received on March 8, 2026, and the initial production is due on March 29, 2026. The scope focuses on bid communications for public tenders and identifies 5 named competitors. We've proposed an initial custodian set of 19 people, including 6 sales leaders, and plan to conduct 10 witness interviews starting the week of March 18, 2026.
[R0.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): Thanks for sharing the context. To ensure we're aligned on employee communications, can you provide more details on the witness interviews planned for the week of March 18, 2026? What's the expected scope and will they be informed in advance?
[R0.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To ensure a defensible legal-hold and collection approach, can you clarify the scope of the initial custodian set and the specific data sources we need to prioritize? Also, are there any specific document types or communication platforms we should focus on?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): For the witness interviews, we plan to cover their involvement in bid communications for public tenders, focusing on interactions with the named competitors. We'll inform them in advance, but carefully script the notifications to avoid alarming them or triggering unnecessary disclosures. On the data preservation front, the initial custodian set includes 19 individuals, with a focus on email, collaboration tools, and potentially relevant document repositories. We should discuss the specifics of data sources and document types further to ensure we're capturing everything relevant.
[R1.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To align our employee communications plan with the witness interviews starting March 18, 2026, can you confirm if the sales leaders among the custodians will be part of the initial interviews? Additionally, what's the anticipated duration of these interviews, and will they be conducted on-site or remotely?
[R1.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To align our eDiscovery efforts with the witness interviews and custodian set, can you confirm if there are any anticipated changes to the custodian list or if there are plans to expand the scope of the investigation? Additionally, what's the expected timeline for finalizing the document and data requests for the initial production by March 29, 2026?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): For the witness interviews, the sales leaders are among the initial custodians and will likely be part of the first round of interviews. We anticipate the interviews to last about an hour each, and they will be conducted remotely to minimize disruption. On the eDiscovery front, we're working to finalize the document and data requests by March 22, 2026, to ensure we meet the March 29, 2026 deadline. I'll check in with you both to confirm the logistics and data sources. Are there any concerns about off-channel messaging or other non-standard communication methods that could impact our preservation strategy?
[R2.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on employee communications and minimize disruption, can you provide more details on the expected outcomes of the witness interviews and how we should handle any follow-up questions or concerns from employees not directly involved in the interviews? Additionally, are there plans to provide any additional training or support to managers to address potential employee concerns?
[R2.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with our eDiscovery efforts, I'll outline our plan for data preservation and collection. We can preserve Slack data within 2 hours of receiving a written legal request, and our Microsoft Purview tool can place holds on up to 650 mailboxes, propagating in under 4 hours. For the initial custodian set of 19, we'll prioritize email and collaboration tools. We estimate collecting O365 data will take 48 hours and Slack export around 6 days. I'll work with you to finalize the document and data requests by March 22, 2026, to meet the March 29, 2026 deadline. Are there any concerns about the vendor cost or volume estimate that we should address?

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): To address the concerns about off-channel messaging and non-standard communication methods, I'll reach out to the relevant teams to confirm our preservation strategy. For the witness interviews, we'll ensure that we're prepared to handle any follow-up questions or concerns from employees not directly involved. I'll work with you, HR Director, Employee Relations, to provide additional training or support to managers as needed. Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery, please proceed with the outlined eDiscovery plan, and let's reconvene on March 22, 2026, to confirm we're on track to meet the March 29, 2026 deadline.
[R3.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on the overall plan, can you summarize the key milestones and deadlines we've discussed so far, and confirm how we'll coordinate our efforts to meet the March 29, 2026 deadline?
[R3.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To summarize the key milestones and deadlines, we've outlined a plan to respond to the DOJ CID by March 29, 2026. We've identified 19 initial custodians, and we'll be conducting 10 witness interviews starting March 18, 2026. We'll finalize document and data requests by March 22, 2026. For eDiscovery, we'll prioritize email and collaboration tools, with an estimated 48 hours to collect O365 data and 6 days for Slack export.
