Foster, Even though many things are likely set in stone, That doesn't mean FIRST won't be open to suggestions. Of course, they're free to accept and reject suggestions, too. That's true in most every engagement effort.
The examples you give are mostly based on old stereotypes. Most definitely, when a government agency is seeking comments on a proposed action, they HAVE to at least consider them. Its the law. Sometimes those comments not relevant to the proposed action, or propose infeasible actions, but they are all considered. And, sometimes, things change. Even large companies will seek comments on projects, though doing so is not always required.
Participation is a spectrum, and you're only describing one end of it. Where this town hall sits on the spectrum remains to be seen.
