I went to a government committee meeting, first one of the committee to get the ball rolling. 2+ hours of everyone introducing themselves, to folk who already know each other.

And we're adjourned. Next month we'll discuss the rules of governance for the committee.

That's two of the total 6 meetings the committee has allocated.

And all the bureaucrats made plenty of show for the "progress we've made".

Well, in the worst case a single bit is overkill.
