Just a general overview for those not in attendance. The turnout was light, probably thirty or so people but several in attendance had some good questions and comments. Jack Stoner moderated the meeting and did a fine job keeping the meeting on point.
The method was to go through the pages one at a time and take any concerns for each page individually. The panel consisted of several people involved in the rewrites as well as an attorney who has been acting as an adviser and producing the documents. Most questions were answered well and legitimate concerns were going to be addressed by re-visiting the sections in question for possible amendments to the proposal. One of the panel indicated these new documents were not being recommended by the group as a whole and there were still disagreements regarding content. Their honesty in this matter was refreshing and appreciated.
After about a two hour session the meeting was ended. There is still a lot of material to go over at the next meeting. It will be hard to form a firm opinion of this rewrite until the final draft is completed after both meetings are finished. In general the meeting was cordial with just a couple disruptions.
