Sure.

So executive order 3, which created OTI in 2022 is certainly the foundation for what we need to approach from a governance perspective because it enables us as a city to have the relevant expertise altogether in one roof.
0:23:34
We have our office of Cyber Command.
0:23:35
We have our office of information privacy office of data analytics, and then the work that we're leading on on AI policy and strategy altogether.

And so e EO 3 in the creation of OTIs describe it as a foundation for being able to do additional work to even be able to create the action plan.
