ms. packard is outstanding. i have been before her several times on issues that every verb, noun and grammatical structure has been examined and i cannot tell you how important it is that the attention that this committee gives to the structure of the english language in order to be clear and accurate is important. even if the people that read the ballots don't understand what went in to put these words on the page. i want to say thank you. and i want to welcome scott over here. if he is successful. this will be the time of your life. we are going to put you through paces like you never believed the public was capable of doing. but that is what democracy is all action and i just want to say i love this committee and i wish it had more coffee, tea, doughnuts or whatever you guys want because you do a public service like nobody else. thank you. >> thank you. any other members of the public wish to comment on item number one? seeing none, public comment is closed. i'd like to entertain a motion to move this forward
