Hello Ms. Sanchez,

Thank you very much for your message. Would it be possible to obtain all such agreements that

• are currently active
• have been entered into since January 1, 2000 (active and inactive).

Does this sufficiently specify the time frame in a way that is useful for your office?

Thank you so much for your help with this. It's very much appreciated.

Best wishes,
Beryl
