I have just now contacted the club and had it confirmed that the NDA will be discussed tonight on record and in the meeting minutes, clarifying why it was asked for us to sign. 
I’ll leave the NDA questions there now as it would be wrong for me to continue speculating.

I suspect those getting their knickers in a twist over NDAs did so shortly after googling 'NDA'

I expect there will be some good news out of this, I can't see Mel wanting to go into it without something good to tell people to deflect/distract

Ok, submissions and voting is over, below is the order of questions to try and put forward to the club.
I say try, as I must stress again, there is no guarantees over how many I will personally be able to ask.
That’s not because we’re yes men, brown nosers who will be sat around laughing and joking which I’ve seen accusations of on other social media platforms.
I always knew the supporters charter meetings would draw criticism, but we have just a couple of hours with the club with several fan groups, all with a list of their own questions which they are looking to raise.
Some of which will quite possibly turn into lengthy discussions/answers given the current situation. 
I know we have a lot of fans that appreciate what we do, and I thank you. Tomorrow I will leave my house around 1pm and not be home until gone midnight, trains, taxis, £50 odd at my own cost, more than the price of a Huddersfield match ticket some of you are moaning about, to take questions that you all were given an opportunity to submit and vote on.
These are not questions I have come up with by myself, but that we have all contributed to.
I will do my best to represent you, and if my best isn’t good enough then I can only apologise. All I ask is be respectful.
Finally please be aware that there is an agreement in place that the meeting will not be discussed until the minutes have been released to us all to share within our groups and on the club website.
This is in my view the most important meeting since the formation of the Supporters Charter, with widespread frustration and anger at the lack of communication, it’s imperative we get the information out there to you all asap 
Questions
David: Mel, how are you and how is your health? (81 votes)
Rev: Can you give a cast iron guarantee you'll continue to fund the club with the minimum amount needed to ensure survival as a club, until any takeover how ever long that will be? (38 votes)
G Star: It would appear that insufficient due diligence was carried out on the prospective sales to BZI and Erik Alonso.
Who carried out due diligence and what measures have been put in place to ensure that we are not sold to such an unprofessional outfit? (38 votes)
Tombo: Supporters are aware that the club is very much up for sale, but what is the plan for the next few years should a takeover not come to fruition? (37 votes)
I-Ram: Upon completing the sale of the club, will it once again have a stadium that it owns? (28 votes)
Ambitious: I think we need to get answers to every point on this, including the details behind each one. Why are we the only club in the entire football league default in payments to the HMRC. Do regulation 16.2, 16.3 and P&S non-submission of audited accounts really relate to purely amortisation or is there more to it? (27 votes)

Ellafella: The name of Derby County has been radically sullied in the press of late, some of it very unfair. Does the Club have a communications strategy to set the record straight over some of the issues eg how we cheated relegation? How we fixed our accounts? How we sold the ground to ourselves? What we value as a Club eg fairness, community spirited, ambitious. (27 votes)
Anag Ram: What can we, the fans, do to help at this difficult time? (27 votes)
Carl Sagan: Derby County Football Club belongs to you, but also to the people of the city and the community of fans around the world. And many are very worried for the club's future. What are your plans for the club if the worst happens and you cannot find someone to buy it off you? (22 votes)
California Ram: Have you considered selling a small shareholding of the club to fans to bring in immediate capital while continuing to make the club attractive to majority ownership buyers. (19 votes)

I make it 16.5k remaining, so looking at 50% capacity atm

Can you give a cast iron guarantee you'll continue to fund the club with the minimum amount needed to ensure survival as a club, until any takeover how ever long that will be?
 

I would like to submit this non football related question, but one that I feel on a human level should be asked.
Mel, how are you and how is your health?

After years of work and research here it is !
The Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams, it was thought that the early colours were blue but it was a shade of blue called Cambridge Blue which is actually more of a green. The badge was the badge of the Derbyshire FA that a player was permitted to wear if they had been selected to represent the Derbyshire FA.
we have had two made by a local tailor after we sourced the correct colours and the materials, the embroidery was done separately, even down to mother of Pearl buttons, it is to add further integrity to the book but moreover to show where the club evolved from, the team that wore these colours set the precedent for all those that have followed, the shirts will be on display at our Rams Heritage roadshows later in the year.

In 917 she sent an army to capture Derby, the first of the Five Boroughs of the Danelaw to fall to the English, a victory described by Tim Clarkson as "her greatest triumph". 

The problem is it's broadcast on sky, yesterday's game was the most watched womens cricket game in history

Against every preconception I had, I'm actually quite enjoying it. Don't think there's room for this and T20 though.
If this is a success it's down to it being on terrestrial TV.

You haven’t been to Reading whilst it’s been called the Select Car Leasing Stadium, so that will be a new experience for you

I think he might be worth persisting with for slightly more than than 70 minutes of a pre-season friendly.
