The minutes of the first meeting are representative of the concepts presented for further discussion. All the participants were given an uninterupted chance to convey their overall perspective on the topic. There was no debate or deliberation. The ideas presented are to be used in building the agenda for the meetings to follow. I'm aware of several ideas from the meeting that to me seem fanciful, ill considered and un-workable. I'm also sure that a couple of other participants feel the same about the ideas presented by the motorized-use reps.
I'm impressed with the over-all composition of the group and I feel that the voices of logic and reason have a chance to prevail with them. I have to thank the DCR (and Gary) for their care and consideration in selecting them.
I've had a couple of people ask me how they could participate and represent their club/group at the meetings. I also noticed that a conservation mgmt rep had also received similar querys from reps of like minded organizations. The DCR has received a lot of similar requests from every direction.
To reiterate: The size of the group shall remain as is and admission is by appointment only. A larger group probably wouldn't contribute many new or different perspectives but it would take much longer to reach a consensus of opinion. There are only 3.5 meetings left and a lot of ground to cover. The DCR has put up the web page to let everyone know what's happening. I'm writing here to let you know that reps from NEATVers, Mass ATV, NETRA and the Berkshire Trails Council are there to represent you and welcome your input.
If anyone has comments or observations that they aren't sure belong in a public forum then email me at: president@massatv.org
There are also numerous options available for private forum postings. The admins here can give you more guidance on that. I really, really, really want to hear what you have to say.

You really feel like having a quad slam into you at 50 mph coming around a bend as your crawling at 3 mph?

Call me nuts, that's how I see it.
