I’m the senior advisor and director of the Southeast Asia Program at CSIS. I want to thank Finamerica (sic) for making today possible. We appreciate their generous support. If I could ask the colleagues to just shut the doors here, if you have a chance. I’d also ask that you please silence your cell phones for the – during the conference. We’ll be live-tweeting this session from @CSIS/org – underscore-org – and we’re using #GSF2012 or #GSF2012 for that. Following the panel, we’ll take questions from the audience. Please wait for a microphone to identify yourself and phrase your question as a question, rather than a statement. Lunch will be served during the third session, which starts at 12:30. I will start this session off with a presentation that we’ve developed called “Navigating the Geopolitics of the South China Sea.” And I’m honored to have the opportunity to be the moderator of this panel with such a distinguished panel.
