I'm all about monitoring privacy related things, but I think the bigger piece here is the monitoring of city counsels for this kind of data. Wow! I just hadn't thought about doing that before. This is a massive trove of information and building a strong, more generic platform around it could yield huge insights to enable fast action as municipalities start implementing things. I have actually built some code to review local city counsel meetings by transcribing them and downloading meeting packets but opening this up at a larger scale could be a massive thing.

Hi there! I've built the beginnings of this platform at https://civic.band and https://civic.observer.

We track City Councils, Boards of Supervisors, really any municipality we can get our hands on. I'm very open to how to make this better!
