oka is not applying.ould gladly step aside if someone else was interested in doing it, but i feel incumbent upon filling that role so that the body can do its work. and i'm very interested in open government and that kind of work as it is. it's part of kind of the work i do in my regular job. so, i have applied again. i just wanted you to be aware that the appointments are coming up again. if for some reason i do not get reappointed, mr. oka will continue to serve until somebody is. i want you to be aware that seat absolutely needs to be filled. we shouldn't make people serve longer than they desire to serve because the appointing body is unable to appoint somebody. so, i think it's kind of a serious matter when it comes to civic engagement and public service and being able to create bodies, commissions, what have you, to serve the public and they're not able to do their job for those reasons. on a completely separate note, i wanted to announce that alcohol justice and riders in treatment are having the f
