Anyone else listen/view the live stream or attend in person? I was multi-tasking a bit here at work, and was able to listen to the brief chat regarding funding for an education program. Frankly, there wasn't much discussion. They briefly chatted about whether auction or raffle tags was contrary to the North American model. Commissioner Davis pretty quickly squashed that, and the discussion moved more towards simply; 'What is a more viable way to make money for education programs - auctions vs. raffles'. Based on the commentary, it appeared clear to me that the commissioners are VERY much leaning towards one or the other to fund the education programs. They passed a motion to form a committee/work-group to study the current auction/raffle system, get input from 'raffle experts', and determine which would be the best way to raise money. Sounded to me like it is a foregone conclusion that they are going to do this, the question is simply whether it will be through expanded auctions or raffles (Disclaimer; I was actually working, so I very well might have missed something. I would encourage folks to listen to the recording for themselves...). Was anyone else there or listening that heard something different??? S. Edit: I was wrong in my summary above. Have stricken my incorrect statements.
