Notes on videos

1. How to Town Hall (Rein Atteman, Alex Epstein)
- Goal: Train viewers to be better participants in their local town halls by getting answers and building power
Re worded: By being taught how to get answers and build power, viewers will be better participants at their local town halls

-Viewers are communicated the benefits of town halls (Not why officials hold them tho)
	-Made it seem like town halls are only held on Saturdays
	-Break down more clearly what we have seen for in person IE coffee shop locations and what that entails
	-Not Free for all for microphones, maybe first come first serve kind of thing

//Good mixture of Rein and Alex talking in ways that seem to highlight expertise
-What Makes a good question
	-I would order the points instead of 1 2 3 to 2 3 1 (I think that the 1 direct question is the more important thing in my limited knowledge)
	-Small Note: If showing YT video, it can be downloaded so it can play without buffering and doesn't lead to next YT video playing

-Breakdown of the video should have its own slide as Alex hits a lot of points that seem to be glossed over

HOW TO WIN THE DAY
-Be Prepared
	-Pretty Good

-Be specific
	-good

-Bring a friend
	-I like this, good idea, especially to highlight that all friends are there to get the answer to one question (maybe also key in that in trying to get an answer from a ducking politician, do not simply resay the question but reword or present in a different way)

-Be Genuine
	-Good

-Be Persistent
	-good highlight on the stay standing part
	-good explanation of what standing and sitting means

-Be attentive
	-good information for being good town hallers

-Be Brave
	-This slide has much more information on it than most of the other ones, I think either all should have more information or this slide should be cut down

Note: I think that all the Be's should be summarized at the end again for more clarity and completeness.

-Examples: OTSB
	-better set up situation or make clear that there can be joint hosted town halls

-Ex: CPAA

-What to Expect
	-Very good grounding

-Next Steps
	-Write out a few questions(Point out someone else may already be asking the question to better drive this


-Was the excel cheat sheet available to viewers after the webinar?




2019 Town Hall Questions
-I think we should add something about the asker personalizing the question ex: including their name, where they live, why they care


Attend a Town Hall webpage
-I think we should include the 1 pager somewhere on the site, possibly under Step 3 Take action or hyperlink to it in the townhall questions doc

1 Pager
-For the make it public part, should also bring up benefits of bringing a friend (moral support, help to make sure actually get an answer)
