Joshua,

I found this answer hilariously short and opaque especially given the
context of it being part of the Transparency Committee. Can you go into
more details about what has been discussed in the past as well as what
might be proposed at the next board meeting. Speaking of which, when is the
next board meeting anyways?

thanks

-David
