To be clear, I wasn't asking the Chair to override the LNC and call a
meeting.  My comments are directed to the LNC as a whole, not you.  If
we're not going to meet, it would be nice to at least have a few members
perhaps weigh in as to why email ballots - which basically exist, so far as
I can tell, because in the past the technology for synchronous meetings
didn't exist - are a better way to resolve this question, given the
parliamentary constraints I mentioned this morning.

However, I don't think I'll get 6 requstors.  Given that, what is the
feeling about an informal teleconference at which no business is discussed?
