[Lnc-business] Motion to be considered at November LNC meeting

[Starchild]

	Thanks, Arvin.  :-)  It probably won't come as a surprise that I support your motion and the intent behind it, but would suggest adding the words "and other members" after "chair". Hopefully if there is any discussion, we can discuss it online now and not take up any time at the meeting (even 15 seconds, although I don't see what could possibly be discussed in such a short increment anyway!).

Love & Liberty,
                                ((( starchild )))

If an LNC member makes a reasonable request for courtesy, it seems pretty obvious that we should honor that request.
