It was on the Join platform which was built after the vTaiwan platform as an institutionalized national participation platform that reaches I think 10 million people… or half our 24 million people country. So it’s a pretty wide platform. And anybody with 5,000 signatures—e-petition—can force a conversation, a response from a minister. But this particular case is different because it was actually two petitions. One, more than 8,000 people strong, says let’s change Taiwan’s time zone to that of +9, the same as Japan. And another 8,000 people strong, saying let’s remain in UTC+8. So it’s actually much more, 16,000 people or more.
