And agency partners.
1:19:40
Okay.
1:19:43
In okay.
1:19:45
Well, moving forward for, you know, the continued public engagement, is there an ask of the steering committee members or of the advisory network members to help with Outreach?
Alex Foard
1:19:57
Yeah.
1:19:57
Absolutely.
1:19:58
We can do all sorts of different mechanisms to make sure that we are reaching the audiences that we want to reach, I think.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:20:03
Did you not advertise on Link and YC?
Alex Foard
1:20:07
I do not recall if we did.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:20:08
Come on.
Alex Foard
1:20:09

1:20:10

Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:20:12

Alex Foard
1:20:15
Yes.
1:20:15
I will double check.
1:20:16
Mhmm.
1:20:17
But what I will say is that we are more than happy to make sure that we are engaging the groups that people want us to to consider.
1:20:26
We've already had agency partners who have said, oh, what if what if we work together on something.
1:20:30
Right?
1:20:30
So we can talk to our specific group.
1:20:32
You know, if there's something with the council, well, we'd be happy to do that.
1:20:35
We wanna make sure we're talking to New Yorkers.
1:20:37
That matters.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
1:20:38
Thank you.
1:20:38
Yeah.
1:20:39
Yeah.
1:20:39
I think there's there's a lot of interest.
1:20:40
I mean, I know this summer is the intention to meet again.
1:20:44
In a year?
1:20:45
For for the public engagement.
1:20:47
Sorry.
Alex Foard
1:20:48
So plans are still underway for the specific and the logistics, but we expect to do more in the new year.
