Quotes
Officials only, in order.
So, so I think the question that we’re going to ask is, what is the process of engagement of the members of this commission physically in a space that we will share so that those goals can be discussed?Chuck Collins · Commission president1:44:30

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
