Clement, you may begin.
Unidentified speaker
I'm sorry, he's asking if it might be better to have the stationary mic to use because I might need to sign to him while you guys are having a dialogue.
Unidentified speaker
And it would be inconvenient if I'm holding the mic.
Shahana K. Hanif
Go for it.
Shahana K. Hanif
Do what you need to do.

No, he does not need the mic.
