The availability of video footage and audio of the briefings on the internet is an excellent use of the technology to get the discussions to the people. The issues discussed are very relevant and the fact that those who did not attend have a greater opportunity to witness the the actual proceedings is exciting and speaks well of the future of people’s involvement. This is truly a great initiative.
