Some comments from Feb 2011 meeting Continue to work after March 2. March 2nd is the groundbreaking day. Continue the Task Force meetings on a quarterly basis. Engage the community more. How are the recommendations going to affect the current system? Where will the recommendations go? What is the immediate solution? The task force do not have teeth, too dry, too academic. How to approach the opening remarks at the March 2nd meeting? Use anger to generate attention. No data will convince the judges if not accompanied by passion and heart. Who will lead the discussion?
