These are the raw elements of the 10/22 LiveAgenda. Clicking a link takes you directly to video of the meeting at the point where an agenda item, utterance, or comment transpired.

Youtube makes this possible. But what Youtube giveth, it can take away. I uploaded two versions of the underlying meeting video. Their quality differed by a factor of four, but the lower quality video is what Youtube displays as HD. I moved the LiveAgenda links below from the higher quality upload to the lower quality upload, because the lower quality upload displays as 720P. Makes perfect sense, no? OK Boomer!
