If you want a little chance to get there, you must show that it's
possible, and this committee should show the way for others. It's
difficult to expect things to change alone.
It will take time for sure. And this committee should not be limited
to treating social problems, it should be a driving force for the project
and a decision body when needed.
IMO of course.
