From the transcript

Um, yeah, the timeline part here is where I think I can contribute the most to the early discussion. Member Handeland proposed AO 2026-130, and it was moved to be voted on at the November 4th meeting. Um, if we postpone— or if we don't— if we don't, um, really resolve or direct any actions tonight, our next window of opportunity to inform our colleagues on the assembly would be November 2nd when the board next meets. And that only gives the assembly and and their mechanisms of analysis effectively one day to synthesize the positions we have. And I think, um, us waiting as late as that, we could lose some assembly members who will have perhaps cemented their position with incomplete information.
