This is the open thread for the conference call.
The IHB Community has been invited to an open conference call with Daniel Young, President of Community Development for the Irvine Company. The time is 7:00 PM. The call-in number is 877 269-7289. Callers will be asked to enter a PIN, which is 13113. That allows them to listen to the conversation. If they want to ask a question—and Dan will remind people of this periodically—they need to hit *3. They can also e-mail questions to Dan at info@cardinalhq.com.

We have two threads going in our forums What do you want to ask the Irvine Company?, and An Open Invitation to The Irvine Company. You can also use this open thread to pose questions.
This will be meeting between the makers of our community and the residents who live within it. An opportunity for both parties to learn from each other; you can make your voice heard, and and you can hear from the inner sanctum of The Irvine Company.
Let’s keep this encounter respectful. This kind of direct contact is rare, and if we make this a positive experience for everyone, it will happen more often. This is one of the unique opportunities opened by social networks.
