I am trying to figure the techno part. Probably if I can email a few
documents I may take up for editing in advance with some general points
I will be discussing and if all of us can use the same documents owhile
on the Skype call it should be fine. Also, I cn record this session and
put it up at IP or with Pratheeq.

Do inform the timing and the mode of such an online session. would be
really beneficial..
Maybe, it can be conducted on Skype and the time and contact ID shared
on the group.

Dear Subramani Sir,
I am happy to know that we will be getting a chance to know your
experiences
in terms of proof reading. I as a lawyer, would like to attend your
session.
Currently I have hardly any knowledge of proof reading.
I shall be grateful to you if you kindly let me know about the session.
With Regards,
Amar Jain.
