rainyjim,
I realize I listed a lot of questions but didn't mean you should ask all of them, I doubt you'll be given the chance for that anyway. I'm hoping there will be people there from the Institute for Astronomy at Manoa who will ask some of those questions anyway (people there have been told of the meeting).
Maybe just stick to your original question but expand on it a bit, e.g., including the fact that public testimony (from pro and anti-TMT folk) for a new management authority was almost entirely against the bill and deeply unpopular, so why keep pushing it and ignoring the community?
Hopefully, the astronomical community will ask the questions that are specific to TMT and astronomy on Mauna Kea.
