Hello all!

Please find our draft November minutes attached if you have suggested changes to the minutes please pipe up before end of day tomorrow (Friday).

Frank will draft a memo outlining the board's position on e-scooters by the end of next week -- there has been quite a bit of chatter about this in a variety of venues, so if you want to weigh in here please synthesize your thoughts and forward them to Frank as soon as practicable.

Reading material, if you're interested:

If you have a strong reaction one way or another, I urge you to sit with it and try to see why you have that reaction and think through it.

Thanks!
