[nfbmi-talk] April 28, 2011 Minutes,

[joe harcz Comcast]

Good ideas all. Might I add that any commissioner can move to have any 
written information like resolutions be put in the public record, including 
as attachments to official minutes.

Sorry that I will not be able to attend. But you guys knock them dead.

These are all great ideas and very valid.

Joe
