[Lnc-business] Call for electronic meeting

[Alicia Mattson]

There are pros and cons to the electronic meeting as compared to email
ballot.

The advantage is that amendments can be handled under standard protocol in
an electronic meeting.

The disadvantage, though, is that everyone on the LNC needs to be available
at the same date/time, or else they can't vote.  With an email ballot,
people can vote at any convenient time over a 10-day period.

Given the rule at play here, passage is not contingent on the "yes" votes
being a certain percentage of those present and voting.  It's 2/3 of the
number of seats on the LNC, so it requires a flat 12 affirmative votes.  An
electronic meeting will inevitably have some absences due to schedule
conflicts, technical problems, etc.  Those factors could easily change the
outcome of a vote that requires a fixed result instead of a
percentage-of-voters.
