Domande
Si risponde ascoltando. Se sbagli, ti diciamo in che momento si trova.
Why does B reject the word mandate?
Response volume does not establish support — B distingue partecipazione da sostegno: ci sono state molte risposte, ma anche obiezioni alla proposta nella sua forma attuale.
Support for more shade does not imply support for removing the market ___.
stalls — L’esempio contrappone un obiettivo condiviso, più ombra, e una misura concreta, togliere le bancarelle del mercato.
B accuses the report writers of deliberately excluding dissent.
False — B nega espressamente quell’accusa: I’m not alleging that. Il problema può derivare dal metodo senza intenzione di nascondere.
What publication approach does B recommend?
Comments plus a more precise summary — B propone entrambi i livelli: commenti senza dati identificativi e riassunto che distingua priorità condivise da mezzi contestati.
B treats the online form’s convenience as proof of equal access.
False — B dice proprio che la comodità per gli organizzatori non dimostra parità di accesso e propone di ascoltare chi non ha potuto rispondere.
A concludes that the report should begin a process of ___.
deliberation — A conclude con starting point for deliberation: il rapporto avvia il confronto, non presenta una decisione precedente come esito della consultazione.

Aprila quando ci hai già provato: leggerla prima trasforma questo in una lettura.
A The consultation attracted more responses than any previous one. I'd call that a mandate for the square's redesign.
B I'd call it engagement. A mandate implies support, and plenty of respondents objected to the proposal as it stood.
A Fair enough. But even the objections suggest people regard the square as important.
B Certainly. My concern is the report's phrase broad agreement. It compresses quite different positions into something that sounds settled.
A We grouped comments by theme to make them manageable. Nobody deliberately excluded dissent.
B I'm not alleging that. A method can flatten disagreement without anyone intending it. Support for more shade, for example, doesn't amount to support for removing the market stalls.
A Then should we abandon the summary and publish every comment?
B Publish the comments with identifying details removed, but keep a summary that distinguishes shared priorities from disputed means. Readers need both.
A And acknowledge which groups we may have missed?
B Yes. An online form was convenient, but convenience for us isn't evidence of equal access. The next meeting should test whether the apparent consensus survives when people who couldn't complete the form can speak.
A So the report is a starting point for deliberation, rather than the decision dressed up as a finding.
