I never thought I'd say this, but it's actually great to be back on a stage again. It really is. It's nice to see people. And I've had so many positive things to share with you about the open group in our community, but for I do, I'm sure like mine, your thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine right now. Mae'r number of deaths, injuries, destruction of cities, towns, the widespread displacement of people is unsettling and unnerving for everybody. I think we're all trying to come to terms with the fact that it's a reality in the 21st century. Meanwhile, the people in Ukraine have to endure the tragedy and the suffering of this on a day-to-day basis. We all hope, I'm sure, that there is a resolution to this in the very near future because it's gone on way too long and I couldn't have an event like this without at least asking you all to think that way. In the words of the American author, Tony Schwartz, let go of certainty. The opposite isn't uncertainty. It's openness, curiosity, the willingness to embrace paradox rather than choose upsides. It's important that we accept ourselves as we are but never stop trying to learn and grow. And these words not only hold great value today but they're also a testament to reshaping and reassessing that we do in uncertain times. Even more so when we come back together as we are some of us here today, whether in person or virtually. We've gotten used to the virtual events in the last few years. So in the last several years we haven't had the chance to let go of certainty. It was taken from us whether we wanted it or not. And I think the test for us as individuals and organisations is how do we respond and react in the face of uncertainty. Well, as the world shut down two years ago due to the pandemic, the open group kept growing and evolving. Together we kept learning too. It wasn't easy. Let's face it, we're an organisation that exists first and foremost to bring people together. And in 2020 and 2021 the last thing people wanted to do was be brought together physically or even allowed to in many places. Our other main reason on DETRA is certification. Most notably in recent years certification of people. And that's hard to do when the test centres that people have to go to to take their exams to get certified are closed all over the world. Sometimes with no notice. But how we as an organisation and a community responded to these challenges is a sense of enormous pride for me. I'll tell you a bit about it. Our events team and supporting cast very quickly switched to purely virtual events. Many of you will have been at one or more of them. They were driven not just by the determination to overcome the challenges, the obstacles put in their way, but also by genuine feeling that our community needed to be brought together even more than usual. The old adage that the show must go on was never more appropriate. Simultaneously our certification team and supporting cast quickly focused on getting us the last part of the functionality that we needed in our systems to allow people to take their exams from home or remotely including the safety and comfort of their homes. These actions were impressive in themselves demonstrating as they did actually a great deal of organisational agility. A word on everyone's lips nowadays, very important. However, what was just as important is the way our community responded. Yes, they did want to attend our virtual events in record numbers actually. Yes, they did want to get certified. In fact, many people told us that the pandemic presented an opportunity for them to focus on their professional development at a time when they didn't have to commute to work or travel for business or even pleasure for that matter. They had some time. Well done to all of you who took the opportunity to focus on personal development and a huge thank you to every one of you who attended one of our events in the last couple of years. I'd like to think as I stand here today that we've helped each other through the uncertainty at least as far as we've got so far. It's not over as we know.  So, thank you. Charles Darwin wrote, It is the long history of humankind and animal kind too that those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed. Appropriate, I think. Last year, specifically September 30th, 2021, the open group reached its 25th anniversary. In October, we celebrated with a non-stop 39 hour global event with segments hosted in different cities around the world where we have offices. So, we started in Shanghai. We moved on to Mumbai and London, Sao Paolo, San Francisco, Tokyo and finally, oh, Johannesburg and then finally Boston, Massachusetts. Apart from being a trip down memory lane we were able to showcase some of the great achievements of this organization in the last quarter of a century. I obviously can't go over them all now. We took 39 hours to do it last time, but just a couple I'll pick out. How the open group originally developed and now evolves and maintains the Togaf standard, which is the world's de facto standard for enterprise architecture. Indeed, I have an exciting announcement on that front at the end of my talk. Another little nugget from our history is the fact that the open group owns and is the certifying body for the UNIX trademark and publishes the single UNIX specification technical standard, which basically extends the POSIX standards. Now, all that may sound like a lot of techie talk to some, but let's put it in real terms. How many of you have ever used a smartphone? Good. The people here are awake. Please put your hands up at home as well, even though I can't see you. How many of you have lost track of time surfing the web? Site to site to site to site to site. Yes, I know you all have.  Or any of you have done any of those, you've used the UNIX operating system or one of its derivatives. They're everywhere. So, for me personally, when I look back at the 25th anniversary, it was great to see faces old and new, faces familiar and less familiar would be better. Yes, familiar and less familiar. Take time out of their day or night, whatever time it was to join us in our celebration. And that wasn't possible without the hard and dedicated work of our members and staff past and present. Thank you all. As Steve Jobs said, great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people. And the open group is a big team of people. So thank you. So before looking at more recent developments in a quick look into the future, including the announcement I mentioned, I'd first like to tell you a story. One that describes how we've now got to the point where standards of the open group are fundamentally transforming industries across the world. And what follows is nicely summed up with another quote just to check the folks in the room are awake and you can see the quotes. American anthropologist Margaret Mead. It's one I've always liked and I found to be so appropriate for the open group. She wrote, never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has. So our story, this particular story starts not back in 1996 when the open group was formed by bringing together X Open Company Limited and the Open Software Foundation, but this story starts in 2010 with the formation of the open group Face Consortium. Face stands for Future Airborne Capability Environment. I was sure I was going to get that wrong. Face stands for Future Airborne Capability Environment. It comes from the federal avionics world, particularly in the United States. The issue being addressed by the open group Face Consortium is how aircraft of all kinds, fixed wing, helicopters, unmanned, anything you want to think about, aircraft of all kinds are procured by customers, most notably the US government. Traditionally, it's done by a very significant contract being awarded to a major organisation who, whilst employing subcontractors along the way, they're basically given the task of designing, testing, building and maintaining an aircraft from scratch, from scratch. It doesn't make any sense. So with increased budgetary pressures and increased threats from overseas, some quite astute and, to be honest, brave people in the US Navy said, we can't do this anymore. We can't keep starting from scratch. We don't have the money. We don't have the time. We've got to find a way to reuse technology, reuse skills that we have. We just can't do it the way it's being done. What they wanted to do was to take an open architecture-based approach to what they call the cockpit of the future. Meaning that the different functionality within that cockpit, say, a communication system, could interoperate. So one communication system in one aircraft could interoperate with another, and it will be reusable. This just hadn't been possible in the past. So the face approach moves from everything being proprietary and one-off to everything being open, interoperable and reusable. As I mentioned, this doesn't just save the customer a lot of money. It allows them to reuse technology. It allows them to reuse skills and expertise. And for the vendors, absolutely it changes the way things have always been done. It could be a threat initially. But it allows them actually to have more opportunities to bid on more contracts than they ever had before, as well as reuse their own skills and technologies. So one of the things that really made a difference between this initiative and previous attempts at standards like this in the federal avionics world, and there had been several, was the fact that we in the open group, through our members, we haven't just addressed the technical challenges, we've addressed the business issues as well. The business issues underlying them that started this in the first place. But as well as creating a technical standard, we have been developing business cases and guides to procurement and other documents that mean that when a procurement officer or a program officer, either once or more common nowadays is required to follow the face standard in their procurements, they can look on it as a useful tool for their job, rather than another rock to fetch. We've got guides and information. This is how you do this. This is how you use it. It all helps to take up of the standards. The result is that the industry is fundamentally changing the way the product's procured and for everyone's benefit. And already we've seen very significant procurements from various US government service branches, which sends a clear message to the vendors that this is the way things will be done. This is the direction and we not only want you on board, but we need you on board. But I would say the biggest differentiator of all is the open group itself. And the reason I say that is we've built up originally maybe unknowingly, but quite deliberately ever since. This niche expertise of being able to bring together government and industry in a non-sales environment and have them work together on solving problems for the marketplace. That doesn't happen everywhere. It really doesn't. We hear it over and over. We've heard many times that this kind of neutral environment coupled with our tried and tested procedures and processes and our legal infrastructure, it makes for a safe, unique in fact, safe harbour environment. So at this point, I'm sure many of you are thinking, well, it's great for federal avionics, but what's that got to do with me and my organisation? I don't play in that space. Well, stick with me. The interesting thing that happened in this story is an organisation completely outside that world, actually ExxonMobil, they heard what was going on in the face consortium. And they very quickly identified that they actually had the same problem in the oil and gas world. So does this sound familiar in the oil and gas world? Their systems are basically put together by one major supplier from a fairly small list and they may use some subs along the way, but basically they put the whole thing together, test it, build it, maintain it for like 25 or 30 years. Imagine the security components in that 25-year-old system. So there's a lot that needs, a lot that needed to change and the result of the old way is that customers are tied into that system and tied into that vendor for a long time. So we always start with a business driver. That's where the standards really have an impact and that business driver, really the main one in the oil and gas world was that their current generation of systems was reaching an end-of-life situation in the next 5 to 10 years. And they didn't want the next generation to be done the same way. We don't want to be stuck with the same old approach for the next quarter of a century. So essentially they wanted for the oil and gas world what the US government had wanted for federal avionics, to say open standards, open architecture, open systems-based approach. The truly smart thinking came when ExxonMobil decided they weren't going to just having cottoned on to this, they weren't just going to keep it to themselves, it would be far more impactful if they made it an industry play. So they came to us and said, can we do something around this problem for the oil and gas industry please? Very smart. So we checked with other operators in the oil and gas world and have you got the same problem and of course they did. We found out over the years in the open group that there's very, very rarely a unique problem that an organisation has. These challenges, these problems are so often shared. And that's when it got really interesting because at that point we realised actually this wasn't just a oil and gas issue, this was a multi-industry issue. Basically any industry that uses large scale process automation systems has exactly the same problem. So at that point we're talking about petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, food and beverage, oil and gas obviously, all those industries, utilities and others, they all have the same problem. And very quickly organisations from all those industries were joining the open group to work together to solve these problems and that's what became our open process automation forum. And they are doing fabulous work and continue to do so today. And the benefits are considerable for the customers but also for the vendors because believe it or not if you're a vendor and you've got a 25 to 30 year maintenance obligation, you actually can struggle to have the expertise to deliver on that or even have the parts, head stories about strange places where parts were being bought from just to service these obligations. So lots of reasons for both customers and vendors why this is important and like the face consortium our open process automation forum has focused on the business issues as well as the technical issues. So as well as the technical standards that they're working through various levels and various depths on the standards, they're also working on business guidance and business case documents to help accelerate the take up of the standard. Of course he wasn't talking about the open group but he could have been when Michael Jordan said Michael Jordan, former basketball player and businessman Michael Jordan said some people want it to happen some wish it would happen and some make it happen. Well these guys are making it happen and it's happening in the open group. The penultimate example I want to run through with you thinking oh god that means at least two more is our OSDU forum. That started as a group of operators and suppliers to them in the subsurface part of the oil and gas world. They had a fundamental business problem too. In their case it was how they could access data. They spend as I'm sure you might realise, gazillions, huge amounts of money on exploration looking for where wells and other resources might be around the world, under the water, under the land anywhere you can think of. But mostly due to the siloed nature of the way the data is generated they can only use a small part of the data that they gather. In fact industry average is about 10%, not really sustainable in another sense. So what that forum is working on is getting all that data onto a cloud based platform that will allow them to analyse the data across the piece end to end and make far more use of it. It will also provide the vendors in that world with the opportunity to provide specific value add services over those that they currently provide today. And it's fundamentally again like the other examples changing from a single proprietary, single vendor approach to an open standards open architecture based approach. And a key part of this initiative that's made this one a little different and is how we're evolving too is it's taken place simultaneously with a very substantial open source software development project. They're not just working on the standard, they're working on the code that implements it. The open group's not new to the open source world but this was a first for us in dealing with hosting a project, open source project of that scale. Because it literally involves huge numbers of developers. But what they've created is a data platform that is fully open source, cloud native, data centric environment for upstream. And it separates data from the applications and it separates the data from the applications and the standards and puts the data right at the centre of the upstream community. It will also enable new cloud native, data centric applications to have seamless access to the full range of subsurface and world's data that they now have on the platform as well as supporting existing data frameworks and applications. So the OSTU forum has grown in membership very significantly since in the relatively short time it's been going. It's now our largest forum in fact. We have many of the world's top oil and gas operators and the suppliers to them participating, not to mention the major cloud providers that are providing the platform that all this will work on. That's new for the open group too. And we also this year in the same area we brought in Energistics, which is a long-standing data transfer organisation, consortium in the oil and gas world. We brought them into the open group as an associate organisation so that we were able to further capitalise on the synergies between the two organisations. In fact, the OSTU forum is now turning its attention to how to utilise the platform for the challenges of new energy. Just all about the traditional oil and gas that can use it for new energy too. Which leads me nicely to a separate but related activity and this is the last one in the story so far. And that's the open footprint forum. You'll see a banner for it out in the exhibitors area. And that is tackling the issue of the lack of common standards for measuring and reporting energy emissions. Why is this a problem? Well, currently the lack of common standards for storing, defining and accessing greenhouse gas scope data, including CO2 and carbon, it has major business implications. Accurate data on emissions material and energy consumption is essential for mandatory compliance reporting and transparency reasons. And it's also key in taking action to avoid reduce and offset emissions, which is what the whole world wants. But organisations today face many significant challenges when it comes to managing their data footprints, including increasing requirements for reporting on all this stuff, reliably, importantly, both to customers, regulators and society in general. Consistency in data measurement, compatibility and interoperability throughout the supply chain. And a lack of standards for recording and processing environmental footprint data. So what's a real-life practical example of that? Well, if you look at a supply chain where there are multiple organisations involved in that supply chain and the recipient at the end has to report on the energy footprint of all this stuff, well, it's almost impossible right now because every organisation has used its own version of recording this stuff along the way. So it's basically used data from its own standards. So what the Open Footprint Forum provides is basically an environment for one set of standards across all industries. For that, they will deliver one flexible data platform, one set of data definitions, one set of metadata definitions, one API to access the data, bringing multiple variants just like we did with the single unit specification, multiple variants down to one. And having implemented a copy of the Open Footprint data platform, an organisation can add together its energy emissions, its energy values in a consistent way, meaning that they're not spending time and money on all sorts of different things, and they can focus instead on applications that make better use of the data and create more business value and make a real difference in innovation and start tackling the problem of energy emissions head on in a consistent way. So it's more than just a set of standards. We're also going to provide a reference architecture and, again, an open source-based reference implementation in that forum. This is big stuff and the world needs this. It will deliver basically a real-time implementation that companies can implement in their own environment, resulting in pretty much a fully operational setup. Now, they're not there yet. You can't go out and get this right now. They're still working on it and putting it together. This stuff doesn't happen overnight, but they've got a roadmap and they know where they're going. And it's not just the commercial world where our standards are having a huge impact in the way things are done. We have a great example in India where the Indian government has adopted a standard called India a couple of years ago now, I think, and that basically... Well, it's based on our Togov standard and it basically is implemented by the government in a way that means any enterprise architecture work done for the Indian government has to be done in conformance with that standard. And some of the states in India are now following suit and they'll get there at different times, but what it means is it creates a great opportunity for our ecosystem of trainers and consultants who supply into that market, who have the expertise around our Togov standard. And the whole of the press news is that the first state to really follow suit and implement the national standard, the state of Megalaya, has just been selected as a champion project for the UN World Summit on the information society prizes for this year. I mean, this was announced two days ago. And there's going to be much more following along that way in that area. All in all, the clear thread from one industry to another to another demonstrates that the open group has a pretty compelling story about bringing together customers, suppliers, even governments in different industries to solve fundamental different business problems using our standards. And as the business writer Simon Manmaring says, very appropriately, effectively without industry-wide collaboration co-operation and consensus, industry change is impossible. And that's what we do here at the open group. That's what we're all about. So that's that particular story. Thank you for sticking with me. So far, there are going to be other examples I know. But I'd just like to share in the last few minutes I have some examples of what's gone on in the open group since we were last together in a room. We ended last year with 870 memberships from over 50 countries around the world. 870. So put that in perspective, it took us from 1996 to 2015 to get to the milestone of 500 members. And since then, in the six and a bit years since then, we've added 370. We've more than doubled our rate of growth in membership. And on the certification side, we're proud to state that there are now nearly 120,000 individuals from 150 different countries certified under the Togaf 9 certification programme. If you add Togaf 8, it's a lot more too, but we're focusing on that one. That's a big number. And despite, I've touched on the virtual nature of our events, despite having to host those virtually over the last two years, we've had tremendous participation throughout. I mean, it's been, to be honest, humbling to see how many people are attending our events from all over the world asking questions and all of this stuff. Over 6,000 at our quarterly events alone and more than 25,000 individuals over the course of last year alone attended an open group event. It's big stuff, makes me very proud. On the topic of events, another notable addition to our portfolio started last year has been our very well-received Toolkit Tuesday broadcast series. We've had 17 episodes so far, typically every two weeks. I think we had a longer gap over the recent holidays. But I'd like to have been very well attended. People are watching them live, participating live and at times more convenient to themselves as well because they're recorded and available on demand. But I'd like to thank all the panellists and speakers that we've had on those episodes and particularly our resident panel of experts. You know who you are and there's some in this room. Most of all, I'd like to thank any of you who have attended those episodes. Don't worry for this particular session. I'm not going to spend time saying the only way you can ask a question is to click on the three dots in the corner of the screen and ask it through the Q&A channel, not the chat channel, which I do every other Tuesday. You can look forward to that if you join the next one. We don't need that today. But a quick look now, and then I'll stop, I promise, and get on with the other great speakers. Quick look now at a significant strategic initiative that you're going to be hearing more about in the open group in the coming months. That's the portfolio of digital standards. Rob gave me a great introduction to that. He referenced that. It's important to many of our members. Our digital open digital standards vision is to help businesses create customer value using digital and agile ways of working with the intention for the open group of positioning us as the premier source of open standards for the digital world. For a couple of years now, we've been rolling out an innovative approach which is similar to the way industries develop digital products. It's something we call standards as code. And the emerging framework for open digital standards that we've got is lowering the barrier for continuous updates of content while still maintaining the same high-rigorous standard of clarity that people have come to expect from the open group. So the initial set of standards is a common vocabulary and roles. Digital competencies provided by the Digital Practitioner Body of Knowledge Standard, or DP BOC, some of you may know it as that. The digital product control and accountability from the IT for IT version 3 reference architecture snapshot. And architecting the digital enterprise, which is taken from our open agile architecture or OAA standard, the Togaf standard and the Archimate standard. And the work going on in our security forum on zero trust architecture is going to be key to the digital enterprise too. So that will be kind of underpinning everything. So the framework, why is it important? Why is it different? It does represent a fundamental change in how we do things. We're going to be able to present our standards in a more unified manner that better reflects the way that they're actually used in the marketplace. That is together. Use the right standard for the right task at the right point. So we believe that that will deliver one of the most cohesive and comprehensive approaches to organisations who are looking to capitalise and compete in the post-pandemic digital economy. I could go on, such is the breadth. I have much more I could say and I'm happy to share it with anyone who's here at any time. But we have plenty of other great stuff to get through. But I'll end here. Thank you all very much for listening both in the room and those of you joining us virtually. If you have any questions, anyone in the room about anything I've said or anything I might not have said, then come grab me over the next couple of days. Anyone else who's there virtually, if you have questions on this, then please submit them as I mentioned earlier and I'll do my best to get them answered. So I started with a quote and I'll end with a quote. One that's always resonated for me personally and how I look at things. It's from the American author and poet, Maya Angelou. She said, my mission in life is not just to survive, but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style. The more I spend time at the open group and the people that make up this community, I think it actually applies across the piece very much. So we aren't just going to survive, we're going to thrive and we're going to go on to great things. Thank you for listening and let's keep learning and growing together. Thank you very much. Thank you. So I'll switch back to more normal mode, the rest of the event. I mentioned an exciting announcement, didn't I? A couple of times. May have missed it. We've been keeping this somewhat quiet but being less subtle over the last few weeks as we've been getting closer to this, but I am delighted and excited to announce the release of the Togaf Standard 10th Edition. I mean, this marks a major milestone in the development of what I described earlier as the world's de facto standard for enterprise architecture, the most used standard for enterprise architecture. It's developed by the Open Group Architecture Forum and today's release introduces a refreshed modular format structure which will make it easier to apply the Togaf framework to different kinds of organisations and different styles of architecture. A lot of the new stuff is guidance. It's how to do this, how do we do this? So the Togaf Standard 10th Edition, so that you can all hear what the real name is, Togaf Standard 10th Edition builds on over 25 years of development and constant input from the architecture forum's global community of EA thought leaders, some of whom are in the room today. It expands the material available, as I've said, to architecture practitioners and it makes adoption of best practices that are in there much easier. It's greatly expanded guidance and how to material it enables organisations to operate in an efficient and effective way across a broad range of use cases, including agile enterprises and digital transformation. We've been looking forward to this for a while, for some time, and it represents a great deal of work from a great number of people over several years. So thank you to each and every one of you who contributed and you will be acknowledged with badges and other things in different ways in the coming weeks and months. But thank you very much for your contributions and we know this has been much anticipated by a lot of people and you're going to want to hear more about it. So to start down that path and finally hook me off the stage, it's a great pleasure to introduce...


Council and as is customary our city clerk Sue Richards will read us the quote of the evening What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year Thank You sue roll call, please Here for an ear Carlson there Dekker here common here Hammond here Heidemann your car here Here We have a quorum now if we can all please stand and join Alderman belt in the Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands One nation under God Indivisible with liberty and justice for all Thank You friend looking for approval of the minutes of the prior Common Council meeting President Decker Motion in a second to approve the minutes under discussion There is no discussion all in favor of approving the minutes say aye aye opposed Motion carries We have no resignations this evening no mayor's appointments this evening and no public forum this evening Under mayors announcements first of all, I'd like to wish everybody a happy new year It is a new year new calendar year Looking forward to it, and I hope everybody is also is also From our building inspection department Persons that have vacant properties in the city of Sheboygan under a new ordinance approved by the Common Council need to register these Properties with the building inspection department this information will be used by city departments that may be impacted by a vacant building The purpose of this registry is to bring efficiencies between the departments in that information on the vacant property will be readily available On-line submittal of the application is available on the city's website at www.cityofsheboygan.info and that is the preferred method of submittal of registration Any questions can be directed to the building inspection department at 459 3477 There is no charge for registering properties however under the new ordinance after a couple of months down the road If people have properties that are not registered There can be fines levied against those properties that are not registered So it's just a an additional notice. This has been published already to I believe Just so if you have Properties that are vacant in the city that we get those registered will help everybody involved Sue has some announcements Yes, I do. Thanks mayor. Just a couple of announcements for property taxes We just wanted to remind the public that the city of Sheboygan property taxes should be paid at any one of the four branches of Community Bank and Trust they should go there or they can drop it off in the silver drop box out in front of our building here at 828 Center So we wanted to remind everybody about that a couple of things that We need to remind people of regarding the elections coming up There's been some confusion and we will have some issues to work through for the first few elections With the change of all the wards districts, etc. And polling locations We were pretty well swamped today We had several articles in the paper over the weekend about new polling places, etc And I found that the easiest way and I would strongly encourage people that have access to a Computer if you look in front of the mayor's podium here It is a state website. It's HTTP colon forward slash twice VPA which stands for voter public access Dot wi dot GOV It's so easy to do. It's a one-step thing going on to our website is great We have the maps in the districts that you kind of kind of have to match what it is until we get that whole thing Together so I would suggest that you go on to the site if you have a computer or access to one It you literally put your last name first name birth date You click enter and it brings up your record and you click on your name And it tells you exactly where you vote what your new ward is, etc, etc It even has a sample ballot for the January 17th election So you'll know what the ballot looks like and again that website is we're gonna be repeating this throughout the night It's HTTP colon forward slash forward slash VPA as in Victor Paul and Dot wi dot GOV as in Victor and for the folks out in TV land Curie is going to be focusing in on this several times throughout the meeting So if we can you know folks can write that down We can call the city clerk's office. However, they are swamped with calls And it is very difficult for them to get back to these to those calls at this time with everything going on So we strongly encourage people to use this website.

Yes, I'd like to make a motion to file this I don't think there's any need to take this the committee the whole I believe it was just Referred to committee. I thought it was to the okay. I was referred to the special prosecutor not to the committee of the whole So you're making a motion to file it. Yes, because I don't think there's a need to take it And we have a motion to file the document and not send it to the committee of the whole We have a motion. Is there a second second? We have a motion in a second under discussion Alderman Boran Thanks, mayor That was kind of the idea Alderman Carlson is that In lieu of sending it to the committee of the whole is forwarded on to the attorneys depending on what they they Intend on doing with it It may want to be sent back to the committee of the whole based on their advice So I wouldn't recommend filing it at this time But at this time I don't want to send it directly to the committee of the whole because Probably the committee the whole would just end up sending it to the attorneys anyway So I would rather keep the document open based on what we hear from the attorneys after it's referred to them. Thank you Thank you Alderman Boran any further discussion There is no further discussion. We will vote on the motion to file As opposed to sending the committee of the whole and I vote would file a no vote would send it to the committee of the whole Correct no, or a no vote would just leave it out there Yeah, and we're just forwarding it on to and forwarding it on but okay Steve Technically if you know you've already acted on a motion on this document It's been dealt with if you want to do something else with it. You should make a motion to reconsider Before you do something else with it Otherwise you've decided to send it to the special prosecutor and can't do that and file it so My opinion it's not on the floor unless somebody There's a motion and everybody agrees to reconsider it or there's majority to reconsider All the men racer I'll make a motion to reconsider this document and Forwarded the document itself to the attorney and file the document is not going to the committee. Oh second Okay, we have a motion in a second to reconsider Under discussion just on reconsidering Just on reconsidering just on reconsidering is the discussion if there is no discussion on Reconsidering we will take a roll call and I vote would be to reconsider it Carlson, hi Decker.

I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the year 2002. This caused severe problems for me. It led to ulcers in the colon. And while it started, we just ended sending colon, soon it spread. And it is led to something called pancolitis. I've been through various treatments, whether it was allopathy, naturopathy. I've tried ayurveda and homeopathy. None of it seemed to work. It also led to a lot of problems in my lifestyle, a lot of diet restrictions. When I first met Dr. Abnish Seth, he told me about this treatment called FMT or stool transplant. When I heard about it, my first reaction was that this is not something that I would like to do or it's not something that I'm comfortable doing. But over a period of time with repeated uses of steroids and immunosuppressants giving me no relief, I finally convinced myself to learn more about this treatment. And the doctor kept saying all you need to do is get over the yuck factor. And once I was able to overcome that, I did start my treatment in the year 2020. It's been two years now that I've been undergoing this treatment with Dr. Abnish Seth. And the results have been wonderful. I have completely stopped using all steroids. And my diet is now back to normal. My lifestyle has come back to normal. I'm able to travel. There are no restrictions. When it comes to my work, I'm not facing any problems. So it's really been a great therapy for me and I would recommend that people who are undergoing problems of ulcerative colitis and similar diseases, that they do try this treatment to give them a long-term benefit. Ms.  For the last 20 years, she was suffering from ulcerative colitis. She had 10 to 15 stools in a day with loose blood. And she had tried every possible treatment available. So we transplanted her stool in 2019. And now she is following us. And she did so well. She has not used steroids for the last three years. As a thai prince, the strong medicines are also closed for the last three years. And her life has changed quite well. So we have published the only five-year follow-up study in the world on what happens in ulcerative colitis when people are on long-term stool transplant treatment. And what we have seen is that 50 to 60% of people they respond so well that we can taper off all their strong medicines. And I think Megha is lucky to be in that 50-60%. Thank you.
