So this year we added back in what we took out in a previous year. If you watch what we said between 0:25 and 0:30 here in this video.

And we handed them the stack of documents that proved it. It was really annoying having dropped from a prior presentation because of lack of room, time, space, and then being told we didn't do enough community outreach.

The list of events is over a 3+ year period, which was fully disclosed. We will probably do about 30 events this year which is impossible to insert into a RCA submission without a supplemental volume dropped onto the judges desk.

One of my frustrations, Feeling your pain man !
