I think they should address their document.
That document is a mix of several concepts. I understand how important it is that any proposed change is done
correctly. Otherwise, too much confusion will result.
Thoughts to consider:
1. If a "lessons learned" document, title should be changed, and it should be written at the conclusion of the
committee's work. It should not be forward thinking , rather a retrospective.
2. If to help other communities, title should be changed and it should reference the work products from the
Internet Focus Group, as without that work the IAC would not have existed.
3. If to change the scope of the current committee. The title should be changed and become a change request that
solely focuses on the scope changes and the justification for them.
4. Regardless which purpose, the communication policy should be changed to reflect the one approved by the
Council on Oct 2, 2019 and include the additional agreement (made later, Patti, Bob, and the Mayor should
remember) about conversations with ISPs to either be live at IAC meetings or if written, copied to IAC Chair and
Vice Chair, City Administrator, and Council Liaisons.
I also wanted to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of the collaboration between Patti and I that resulted in the creation of
the IAC. Almost exactly 5 years ago, Patti and I sat at my kitchen table and drafted a charter. We presented it to the
Council at their Oct workshop, and it was slightly amended. It was then approved by the Council at their Oct regular
meeting.

Would you like the Committee to delay the Charter discussion if you cannot make the meeting?

I just found out I need to take my daughter to the airport later this afternoon.
I'm not sure if I will be able to get to the IAC meeting or not.
