Hey, well, welcome everyone.
I'd like to welcome you to the December 10th special meeting of the Berkeley City Council and call this meeting to order.
I did that, so I believe we just have one item on our agenda, so would someone like to move item number one as written? So I say move.

I don't have this.

Blair Beekman, you can now unmute and provide comment.
Hi, I'm Blair Beekman.
I'm a person who works on the issues of tech accountability, the future of open public policies and best practices with the future of our technology, surveillance and data collection.
Congratulations to the new mayor.
Thank you.
It's nice to be here, to be a part of this process with the new mayor.
Thank you.
All candidates are always important and good.
I'm really hopeful in what the new mayor can be working towards and accomplishing.
I hope we can really set a course to really understand that tech accountability is a process of community participation.
It's an awesome process.
It does some really amazing good things in working together as a full community effort and not just specific specialized groups.
It's really interesting work.
Good luck in the efforts.
Thanks for the meeting today.
