[Lnc-business] Results of Doodle

Fri Sep 16 15:11:44 EDT 2016

There has been so much traffic on this meeting in several different threads
that I am confused.  I get
that the proposed date is Sept. 25th.  Was a time, duration and agenda (or
suggested agenda) set?

Since this effort will set a precedent for a non-scheduled meeting called
for by a minority of the LNC membership,
I'd like to make sure we have a good idea of what we will be about before
committing my time.  Especially since
our Chair has stated that he cannot attend on that date.
