Exactly.

And so actually, so that's what we're doing with the platform.

So in terms of scaling, everybody can make contributions in a robust way in real time during the meeting in a number of different ways that people can share their thoughts.
20:21
about what the speaker is saying and things they'd like the speaker to address.
20:26
And you'd have to look at it to see what it does.
20:28
But it does have a bunch of these a bunch of ways for people to robustly share their views.
20:34
And but then the issue with scaling is that if again, if you have a meeting with 1000 people in it, and they're all robustly sharing their views in real time during the meeting what you get what the organizer sees right so for any meeting that any effective meeting has to have some sort of facilitator who's running the meeting that's deciding the flow of the meeting right so he can say this content is on topic this content is off topic right so if you're in a meeting and you know and you say something that's not germane the facilitator will say lloyd you know let's let's stay on topic right or if you say something that's misinformed the facilitator would say that's that's not right right you need to have facilitation and then in a public meeting right if a public meeting is on an issue like air quality and the aqmd That issue will have a bunch of aspects that a public official would want to discuss, right? They're different.
