The Overtures Committee met for nearly 14 hours over Monday and Tuesday and made recommendations on 84 Overtures referred to it. Below you will find a quick, visual representation of the Overtures Committee recommendations on each item. I shared highlights of the discussion and debate on X and used an app call ThreadReader to compile the threads from each segment of business into a sharable post. I've linked to these at the bottom of each section if you want to dig into the deliberations.

Monday Morning

Monday morning began with Overtures Committee orientation for new Commissioners and election of the Chairman of the Overtures Committee, Guy Waters.
