Citizens/People Assemblies

Is the Jula Grun email fake/mischievous?   My writings, below are important for freedom of speech and right decision making.  People like ourselves must be allowed to speak at committee, board meetings to avoid blunders.  A Citizens Panel, another layer of bureaucracy, would not then be necessary.  People who want Citizens/People Assemblies should attend existing public committee/board meetings (open to the public) to speak informally to officers and members, as I do from time to time.  They are poor at replying to emails, texts, phone messages so they have to be approached at meetings open to the public.    Tim Weller
