[George Nishimura]

I attended the meeting. My frustration with the panel was they set out at the beginning a set of questions, and didn't fully answer all of them.

I would actually prefer if they gave a medium where people can submit questions and they would give a thought out and lengthy response, rather than immediate, hand-wavy answers to avoid answering the difficult questions.

I think the moderator was right to ask whether the other questioners were fine with Mike asking a second question; there was limited time and some people didn't get the chance to ask their question in the end, so it was the polite thing to do.

The panel was defensive, but on the flipside I thought the questions were unnecessarily aggressive. While it clearly shows their passion, aggressive questions are not as effective as clear concise ones.

I had two questions that I didn't get to ask (and will email soon):

1. How is this scalable? If FRC had > 4000 teams, we will have 3 championships?

2. Considering they will have to negotiate 2020+ contracts soon (as they said), have they learned anything from this announcement? Are they going to approach it differently?
