(38,575 posts)Thanks for the work of your meeting. I don't remember this year's numbers - but 2 years ago there was input form 270 meetings and/or individuals into the process. There was a lot of respect for the integrity of the process and it is only because a few things came up so strongly through that field process that they ended up in the final priority statement. The sense of those in attendance was different on a couple of priorities - but not enough different to set aside the discernment that led to the initial draft.
Drones were the subject of some work at Annual Meeting - I believe the concern there was the distinction between drones used outside of the US and drones used inside - and we wanted to make sure the staff felt authorized to lobby against the use of drones within the US, as well.
...and everyone else reading this subthread is going "huh?"
