logistics -- we would like it have as much participation as possible so that's one of the issues we're dealing with. >> the last date that i heard was march 23 as a possibility but a member of the sunshine ordinance task force had an illness that came up so i think you've all made yourselves available and it's kind of on them to be available. i look forward to that meeting happening in our lifetime. thank you. chairperson hur: the next item on the agenda is items for future meetings public comment expert which a public,? the to public comment? >> i was quick to do this now or in general public comment.
7:01 pm
there was a recent complete shown to me by a complainant or co-complainant, and the response letter. i do not know whether it was a dismissal letter. it was a form of a dismissal letter. i do not know that i want to be specific about the complaint. i am not sure if you have seen either the complete or the letter. because of the nature of the thing, it may have been dismissed by staff and an early stage, such that it did not get to you. i am not clear how those complaints work. in any event, the issue as i understand it -- the matter was terminated because t evidence te individual was personally and substantially involved in the specific matter. my concern is the understanding of the terms "personally" and
7:02 pm
"substantially." my idea was different about what that meant, that it was more broadly involved in a matter, get personally and substantially -- my new understanding is that staff of use it in a different way, as relates to the rights and obligations of parties more in a legal or contractual cents. i am not sure that is the only way to interpret it, nor am i sure that is what the original intent was about personally and substantially involved in a specific matter. i think it is difficult to talk about these things in the abstract. maybe with some specifics are hypothetical, it would be worth having a public discussion on what was intended by personally and substantially involved.
7:03 pm
i suspect this was either not the last complaint that we will see in that form, and that there will be others, particularly as we talked earlier tonight, about the post-employment waiver and what that means, going forward -- i think it is helpful to have some understanding of what people think that means. is that good for specific and get vague? thank you. -- and yet vague? thank you. chairperson hur: public comment on matters appearing are not appearing on the agenda. hearing none, mr. renny, welcome to the ethics commission. thank you for participating in your first meeting. this meeting is adjourned.

can anything be presented that way? or will it feel cold and electronic? >> the imagery will change. there will be four different sets. it is a two dimensional image. it is stretched out into three dimensions. the device is part of the experience. you cannot experience the image without the device as being part of what you are seeing. whereas with the tv you end up ignoring it. i make gallery work more self

and budget and public art work where i have to drop this of indulgence and think about how people will respond. and one of the things i was interested in the work and also a little fearful of, it is not until you get to the first and second floor were the work is recognizable as an image. it is an exploration and perception is what it is. what are you seeing when you look at this image? one of the things that happens with really low resolution images like this one is you never get the details, so it is always kind of pulling you in kind of thing. you can keep watching it. i think this work is kind of

[applause] >> good evening. welcome to the third annual palo awards. thank you for allowing me to participate in this event. i hope you understand how out of place i am here. i mean that sincerely. it is an occupational hazard i have encountered the past few years, taking on this role in "the big bang theory." this is not the first invitation to events for which i am ill suited. i once introduced nobel prize- winning physicist george smoot, because i play a character who is a physicist and a genius. i am neither. science class was the only class
7:25 pm
i ever failed. while i am not an absolute dunce, i learn the signs phrases i speak on the show. i memorize them the same way you learn english phonetically. it is a good trick. i often speak at comiccon, because i play a character obsessed with, and books. i don't know anything more about comics ben -- than "cathy" or "calvin and hobbes." i finally had to admit i had never seen an episode of "star trek." i am so sorry. i never know if my thumb is supposed to be in and -- in or out when i do the hand signal. i do not know what it means. i apologize to all of you. tonight, i have the privilege of speaking at the tech awards.
7:26 pm
regarding technology, my knowledge is limited to a few facts. i know the character i play on tv uses a pc. i use a mac at home. the only difference to me is i think the mac is prettier. i just joined facebook in the past year. i have for the friends. [laughter] -- 40 friends. i joined twitter around the same time. i have no followers. i changed pseudonyms a dozen times. i sent messages to politicians and athletes to congratulate them on living after loss. despite all of this, i am here with you, the most tech-savvy people of all. i am grateful. i will not understand most of what you talk about, but i will listen carefully, and may be able to parrot back a phrase or two. i have very good memory. the pact follows award honors 20 individuals for their
7:27 pm
outstanding achievement in one of four critical areas of entrepreneurship -- general management, disruptive innovation, product marketing, and engineering. for each category, 5 tech fellow awards will be permitted. to be fair, ask everyone to hold their applause until all the winners have been named. i always find it difficult, so i apologize. tonight, we recognize the men and women who have revolutionized the way we communicate. the rest of us will populate what they invent with videos and dancing babies. they will be only the third class admitted to the fellowship. the winners will invest over $2 million. this event honors the creative

individuals to this great -- displayed courage in pushing the envelope and believing the genius of their own ideas. the world needs more of you. without further ado. san francisco is, of course, famous for many things. there are cars, the golden gate bridge, alcatraz, the forty- niners. it is known as an incubator for innovation. more than 500 technology firms call this city home. a major reason for this is the welcome and support the city gives those who are willing to take big risks and think different. tonight, it is my honor to introduce a man who is a great friend to the technology -- technology committee, and the leader of this great city. please welcome the 43rd mayor of this great city, mr. ed lee. [applause] mayor lee: good evening.
7:29 pm
thank you for that introduction. welcome to the third tech awards in san francisco, the city of innovation. i want to welcome you here. i understand there are 20 awards, $100,000 each. i think there will be 21 awards. i slept in one nomination that you might recognize. i want to thank the hosts here, techcrunch. a little over a year ago, they invited me to their media center and announced me as the first non-politician office holder. i want to thank the founders and the founders fund, our partner, and new enterprise associates. thank you for being the host of this great event. i am also very excited
