From the transcript
But after additional conversations, we consistently heard both at the meeting we were all at and through lots of conversations that that version weakened the community leadership for this. The commission no longer appeared to be sufficiently independent, and the commission's roles and responsibilities in addition, still needed to be clarified, and we needed more specifics about what they would do, what this commission would actually function like. So those comments directly shaped the S-1 version that we have here today. Next slide. The S-1 version reflects everything we've learned through this process.
