1. I got a lot of questions

Are the retired judges involved taken from those that have been declared by primary participation Republican/Democrat - 2 and 2? They may still have political bias.

Do those judges then pull 90 names out of the declared political Party voting pool already in existence or any resident pool of Ohio?

How will those then chosen be widdled down to the 45 and 15 - What are the criteria for serving on this panel and how and when will these "interviews" take place so voters can contribute their "thoughts" about panel participants' worthiness to serve?

Does this become a citizen's duty to serve (like jury duty) if chosen to be on said panel? What if a person has "circumstances" that might prohibit said service? Does one simply decline the selection and another chosen from the pool? I know absolutely nothing of any sort of map-making, political or not, or perhaps the person just doesn't want to serve on the panel?

How should one parse the term "gerrymandering" as used in the language of this issue?
