<div><font face="Tahoma" size="2">I listened to the Community Webinar. It was informative but I would note that of the 5 questions submitted in the Q&A Box, four were addressed at the end of the webcast, BUT (??) the two I asked were ignored. <br><br>They were: <br><ul><li>Would PIR consider remaining a non-profit, which would assist the proposed Stewardship proposal in its work? There was no comment.</li></ul><ul><li>I asked for clarification with respect to the propose B Corp LLC, and whether it was an incorporated Benefit Corporation or just Certified by B Lab. What was said in the webinar on that subject was unclear. There was no comment.</li></ul>I guess they ran out of time, or else the questions are off the table.<br><br>Sam L. <br></font></div>
