I have full faith and confidence in this task force identifying the most
pragmatic solution. I trust Jared to raise the white flag if a tool on
teitac.org is not practical.

The Board has reimbursed NCDAE for the domain registration costs. Other
incidental expenses are not out of the question.

Andi wants to use it for her subcommittee. Not every subcommittee need
to use it. If Gregg can work out the details, I do not understand the
objection.

Are you talking about on-line (only) conferencing? Again, that is
possible, but I am not clear how we provide that at minimal cost and
keep it accessible (including real-time captioning).

You are almost certainly correct!
