1:44:58 there’s frustration around I think there’s frustration around I think people<01:44:59.360> expect<01:45:00.400> transparency<01:45:01.400> I<01:45:01.520> know<01:45:02.280> that's people expect transparency I know that’s people expect transparency I know that’s been<01:45:02.599> a<01:45:02.760> common<01:45:03.239> theme<01:45:04.239> in<01:45:04.520> Campa<01:45:05.040> in<01:45:05.199> campaign been a common theme in Campa in campaign been a common theme in Campa in campaign so<01:45:05.800> I<01:45:05.880> think<01:45:06.000> that<01:45:06.119> there's<01:45:06.239> a<01:45:06.360> general so I think that there’s a general so I think that there’s a general consensus<01:45:07.639> that<01:45:07.800> transparency<01:45:08.800> in<01:45:08.960> for<01:45:09.159> the consensus that transparency in for the consensus that transparency in for the subject<01:45:09.880> obviously<01:45:10.239> to<01:45:10.679> Legal subject obviously to Legal subject obviously to Legal restrictions<01:45:12.560> um<01:45:13.239> is<01:45:14.239> necessary<01:45:14.800> and restrictions um is necessary and restrictions um is necessary and appropriate appropriate appropriate um<01:45:18.719> but<01:45:18.960> I<01:45:19.159> think<01:45:19.480> that<01:45:19.679> when<01:45:20.080> found um but I think that when found um but I think that when found foundational<01:45:20.960> and<01:45:21.159> critical<01:45:21.840> decisions<01:45:22.360> are foundational and critical decisions are foundational and critical decisions are made<01:45:23.560> I<01:45:23.639> think<01:45:23.800> to<01:45:23.960> the<01:45:24.159> maximum<01:45:24.960> extent made I think to the maximum extent made I think to the maximum extent possible<01:45:28.000> uh<01:45:28.639> and<01:45:28.800> this<01:45:28.880> would<01:45:29.080> include<01:45:29.520> I possible uh and this would include I possible uh and this would include I guess<01:45:29.760> the<01:45:29.880> search<01:45:30.320> right<01:45:30.560> obviously<01:45:30.880> for<01:45:31.040> the guess the search right obviously for the guess the search right obviously for the super<01:45:31.920> permanent<01:45:32.320> super super permanent super super permanent super superintendent<01:45:34.239> uh superintendent uh superintendent uh that<01:45:36.159> those<01:45:37.159> decisions<01:45:37.960> and<01:45:38.119> the<01:45:38.280> rationale that those decisions and the rationale that those decisions and the rationale for<01:45:39.159> those for those for those decisions<01:45:41.360> um<01:45:42.199> to<01:45:42.440> the<01:45:42.599> maximum<01:45:43.000> extent
