--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, can we discuss the practical logistics for preserving and interviewing the relevant employees, and also confirm our collaboration-tool retention realities?
[R0.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To align our response with the DOJ CID, I can share that we have 142 sales employees across 3 regional teams. We've also had 93% antitrust training completion as of the last campaign in November 2025. For document preservation, HR can distribute a hold notice to 210 employees with acknowledgement tracked in Workday. We're planning to roll out manager talking points on March 18, 2026. Additionally, we have 8 sales staff scheduled to attend the Munich trade fair starting April 1, 2026.
[R0.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To align our response with the DOJ CID, I can share that our email and file retention is managed through Exchange Online, which retains email for 7 years, with an average mailbox size of 8 GB. Our Slack retention is currently set to 90 days, and it includes DMs. We have the capability to place legal holds on up to 650 mailboxes using Microsoft Purview, and these holds typically propagate in under 4 hours. For immediate preservation, we can suspend Slack deletion within 2 hours upon receiving a written legal request. I'd like to understand the legal scope boundaries to ensure we're preserving the right data. Additionally, are there any imminent personnel changes that could affect our access to devices or data?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, I'd like to share our initial custodian scope and interview sequencing plan. We're proposing an initial custodian set of 19 people, including 6 sales leaders, and we plan to conduct 10 witness interviews starting the week of March 18, 2026. Can you both confirm if there are any impending HR actions or use of off-channel messaging that could affect our preservation strategy?
[R1.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, can you help me understand the credibility and sensitivity level of the originating concern that led to this investigation? Additionally, are there any technical preservation weaknesses we should be aware of that could impact our sequencing of employee communications and interviews?
[R1.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To align our response with the DOJ CID, I'd like to share our eDiscovery collection timeline and vendor cost estimate. We estimate it will take 48 hours to collect O365 data and 6 days for the Slack export. Our vendor has quoted $240,000, assuming 1.2M documents. For staging holds and exports, we should align with the proposed interview schedule starting March 18, 2026. Are there any signs of off-platform communications that we should be aware of?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, I'd like to clarify if there are any impending HR actions that could affect our preservation strategy.

To confirm, are there any imminent personnel changes that could affect our access to devices or data? Also, have we considered the potential for off-platform communications that could impact our preservation efforts?

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Associate General Counsel, Antitrust & Investigations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, I've taken note of the eDiscovery collection timeline and vendor cost estimate. For the potential use of off-channel messaging, I can share that we've seen no evidence so far that would indicate widespread off-platform communications. However, we're continuing to monitor the situation. Regarding impending HR actions, there are no significant changes planned that would affect our preservation strategy at this time. Let's continue to coordinate our efforts to ensure a defensible response posture.
[R3.2] HR Director, Employee Relations (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, I've taken note that we've seen no evidence of widespread off-platform communications and that there are no significant impending HR actions affecting our preservation strategy. Can we now confirm if there are any technical preservation weaknesses that we should be aware of to finalize our employee communications and interview sequencing?
[R3.3] Director, Legal Technology & eDiscovery (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on responding to the DOJ CID, I've shared most of the technical details needed. To confirm, are there any technical preservation weaknesses that we should be aware of to finalize our collection plan?
