Board members, new or unfinished business. Wow, a remarkably silent group. Ill volunteer one thing. I put myself out there on that one. I first of all want to direct director tomlin and all of the staff on the excellent workshop last tuesday. It was really rich and substantive. And you came to a lot of new conclusions. And i wanted to share ive had several colleagues reach out to me to share stories of their commute. Ive had them express faster traveling times, and remark about the aspect they did not anticipate, which is how quiet it is on Market Street, and they could even hear birds churping on their walks. I just wanted to share that. Im sure all of you are hearing positive feedback as well. But i think it is a great success, and it is clearly have an immediate impact. Wonderful, thank
Against each of them. In quick summary, our Human Resources director, kimberly acreman, has been leading that effort, along with donte king, and virginia harmon. They have been busy creating some standards that did not exist, about treating all employees fairly. It includes written recruitment policies that make the process more transparent. Integrating diversity into all of our h. R. Initiatives. Providing better training opportunities to managers and supervisors, as well as frontline employees, in partnership with the department of Human Resources. Reviving the e. O. Process to make it more easily understandable, and improving communication and transparency throughout. We are also, as you saw last week in our budget exercise, we have a significant ask around creating a new division for race and equity within the department, as well as a significant ask of increasing staffing at the department of resources in order to meet all of these goals. I believi think were making god progress,

Last question. The three roles of u. S. Cybercom, one is specifically to look after the security of dod networks, the other two being to support commanders and the third which is in some ways the most difficult and challenging is to defend the nation and how that engages. So cybercom has that responsibility, i think, the challenge if it were to arise would be a lot of the intelligence that Cyber Command needs to do its work comes from the nsa side, and splitting the two out would be highly inefficient. That inefficiency may be worthwhile in the long run, but in the short term i think the judgment is the benefits are not, do not justify that inefficiency. General sort of wrapup comment, i think what has not been commented on too much, but is also worth getting on the record is, one, the interesting aspect of this speech is president obama directly confronting the National Aspects of this which havent been part of the administrations presentation to date.

They like to pretend theyre coming in to keep prices lower, helping consumers. If you look at the larger governments, they dont necessarily do a better job at these things. I think the market i think consumers working voluntarily without violence, without the threat of force, 300 million americans deciding how they want to approach things.
