ICC members:
I see that nothing other than the meeting agenda is posted online for your Special Meeting
of July 23, 2020; this was also the case for your prior meeting on June 25.
AVCaptureAll is perfectly capable of having links to any/all documents, presentation
materials, etc. that you will be discussing.
Your failure to take advantage of the technology that we already have is more than
disappointing – it's an insult to the communities you are purportedly representing.
Why the secrecy?
If you want to force people to acquire the documents (et al) via the cumbersome and more
costly Public Records process, so be it.

"The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do
not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know.
The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments that they have created."
