“There are a number of amendments that establish seats, and I'm welcoming that conversation at the meeting. I would also just say, in our conversations, we debated having seats and the pros and cons of that, and that we made the decision to put as strong intent language as we could into this so that those that are recommended and appointed to this commission, that that intent language of the what, what, who we want to have on this commission is clearly there.”

From the transcript

There are a number of amendments that establish seats, and I'm welcoming that conversation at the meeting. I would also just say, in our conversations, we debated having seats and the pros and cons of that, and that we made the decision to put as strong intent language as we could into this so that those that are recommended and appointed to this commission, that that intent language of the what, what, who we want to have on this commission is clearly there. So I would just say that, that, that one version is just establish seats, and, and one version is to not establish seats but put intent language.. And so I find that if we begin to create seats, then it may have the ripple effect of now establishing more seats. And so just want to just share that generally, but I look forward to that debate and that conversation at the meeting.
