In your opening statement, the quote I wrote down was that you referred to civic resilience as “the distance between people and institutions”. At the end of our studies, we usually have to come up with a title, and I think I'm going to be pushing for that one right there. I do appreciate that.
Also in your opening statement, you strongly suggested public funding. The democracy fund has been brought up a number of times. It sounds like it's an arm's-length ranking and granting process. What governance model would be best to ensure that it remains non-partisan, that it remains transparent and that it remains insulated from any kind of political influence while still being accountable?
