Still Maggie? Please elaborate.
Elaborate on “still”?
Not sure what you’re referencing as being a fair distillation. If you’re referencing your summary of Agenda 28’ yes, very much so.
I think it was a typo and that @mggbwmn8 actually meant. “Is this a fair distillation?” but I see you already agreed on it being, indeed, a fair one.
