I don't think my feedback was negative but I do think giving Larry only one day to transcribe and clean up questionnaire responses before getting them on the wiki is tight and if we happen to have a townhall at the beginning of the townhall week no one will have to read the questionnaires. If Larry is ok with that I am too, since he is doing that work. I can try to leave a day or two before scheduling townhalls if possible to give people time to read responses. With only 4 townhalls scheduling should be easier this time around.
