No Detroitnerd, just the opposite. At other meetings, community members have only had a 2 minute window to speak. In some cases, some took that two minutes to give veiled campaign speeches, discuss items that were not at all charter-related or complain about 'takeovers'. These sessions will be interactive conversations but we are trying to keep folks focused on the charter rather than turning it into a complaint fest. Focus is important here.

Most meetings have been attended by the same people over and over, we are trying to get more involvement and gather more information [[and language) that can be part of a viable, workable charter.
