Of all the ideas that I listed feedback is the most difficult to achieve.

So there has been an effort in the past. This is good. The meeting is a long way from my home my home, but a possibility for some.

I have no idea what the feedback loop is.

I believe that I filled out this and other surveys this year and last. I was specific, I offered to help. I offered my contact info should anyone have follow up questions. Unfortunately it does not feel like feed back if there is no response nor any change. A simple "we will consider it" would be great. Even a "no that isn't gonna happen" would be a start.


So to keep this moving: I have had two responses to my ideas but no responses stating other peoples ideas of what transparency looks like to them.

Actually, you had one. Read my last post in this thread, the last paragraph.

Dear GDC:

Thank you for stating your intent behind the rules this year. This is a step towards transparency. There is a long ways yet to go.

Sincerely,
