The RAQC Board Meeting on August 1, 2025, highlighted the need for clearer communication and preparation ahead of upcoming workshops, particularly regarding industry engagement. Board members expressed concerns that many stakeholders were not fully informed about the topics to be discussed, which could hinder productive conversations.

One member emphasized the importance of providing "concept papers" or simplified versions of complex topics to ensure everyone has a foundational understanding before meetings. This suggestion aims to enhance the quality of discussions by allowing participants to prepare relevant comments and insights.

In response to inquiries about the dissemination of information, officials confirmed that they had reached out to thousands of stakeholders through various channels, including mailing lists and industry groups. They are committed to sending out updated drafts of discussion materials well in advance of the next workshop in Fort Collins on August 18, ensuring that participants are adequately prepared.

The meeting underscored a collaborative spirit among board members, who recognized the value of diverse perspectives while acknowledging the need for improved communication strategies. As the RAQC moves forward, the focus will remain on fostering engagement and ensuring that all voices are heard in shaping future initiatives.
