Is it an option to record the proceedings with a video camera?
While the topic is not really my interest, sharing information is, and I can think of little reason not to record video and/or audio of these proceedings.
I'll admit that part of my reason for asking is that with all of these competing interests - without some real record of who said what - it's impossible to know what to believe.

Barry Grossbach responded to my request for an announced protocol for residents wishing to speak, Feb 13 at 7PM. I am waiting for permission to forward the response. I believe that he may have intended it to go to the list too. Essentially, he tells me that all guests will have the opportunity to speak after the committee interacts with the Penn/Campus Apt developers. He tells me that there is no time limit. He doesn't give any details about the guest comment period. At FOCP, it's the President who recognizes whomever he pleases. They usually give one minute only and reserve the right to interupt when someone disagrees with the leaders agenda. Some of you may have watched the former President handle me in that manner at the "18 and 19" public meetings about restarting the UCD park takeover. Both times the Prez silenced me by the middle of the third sentence. Barry didn't mention if SHCA will use the same techniques to silence disagreement and intimidate the entire audience. Nor did he mention what happens when the developers apologize and explain that they need to leave in 5 minutes. I explained that I would have a copy of his e-mail should the developers try to run out the backdoor. (Remember when Omar Bleek spoke at the BID presentation, pretended to get a phone call, and then made that mad dash for the backdoor.) I was hoping to get Barry to understand that the people have come to expect some type of surprise; some type of treachery that prevents them from voicing their dissent, asking direct questions, or offering their comment. I'll forward the response as soon as he gives me permission. Glenn.
