Meeting Purpose

Since developing and posting an initial plan, I have been informed of other initiatives being discussed and undertaken to restore Todd and Jeff to the air. The primary purpose of the initial meeting is (1) To provide a forum to begin to discuss the various plans and proposals underway and share ideas, information, and concerns, (2) To begin to put together a communications infrastructure to coordinate efforts and avoid duplication of work, (3) As much as possible, to foster transparency and cooperation among all those interested in working toward establishing and securing a program like Issues, Etc. in the future.
