  1. A special Charter Revision Commission is initiated, made up of members of the Board of Representatives (see below for members) - done

  2. A Charter Revision Commission is made up of members of the Stamford community (see below) that is tasked with reviewing specific parts of the Charter and making any suggested revisions to the Charter on or before June 07, 2023 - in-process
