Since I couldn't afford to fly to Wellington to line up at the mike, and there is no means of remote participation, I've asked the ALAC to relay my concerns. But that's no substitute for genuine openness, a genuinely public forum, or proper notice of what the Board is going to consider on Friday. If I were able to line up at the mike, or if there were a means of remote participation, I'd ask about my unanswered questions to the Board and pending requests for Board action.
