As an active participant in Thursday night's Restoration Advisory Board

asked NASA and other government representatives to engage the public in 
developing public-private partnership solutions, and toward that end the 
RAB established a subcommittee to promote more direct community 
involvement in intra-governmental discussions.

Braxton said after the meeting.
