True. It's best to have a couple of people ready for prepared presentations
if we're given the opportunity. I'm not certain that will be the case, but
we need to be ready.

Having handouts is a great idea. As much as I dislike dead tree format, it's
a great idea.

Yes. Our spokepeople need to be able to respond over the next few weeks if
there are any questions coming back to us. Others can certainly help with
those responses.

Do we want a specific PLUG mail alias we can give Paul and crew?

feedback@PLUG.phoenix.az.us?
debarment@PLUG.phoenix.az.us?
outreach@PLUG.phoenix.az.us?

contact@PLUG.phoenix.az.us is already used for general contact stuff, so I'd
prefer not to muddy it with a one-time topic.
