Fellow members, I now have the authority of Region 1 to move forward. I
believe that this subject deserves the dignity of a meeting not an email
ballot. If this call for meeting fails, I will be either supporting one of
the proferred suspension motions or offer one of my one. Killing this call
to meeting is not making it go away. Let's do this the right way. I ask
you to join in this call for meeting.

Fellow members, I now have the authority of Region 1 to move forward.
I believe that this subject deserves the dignity of a meeting not an
email ballot. If this call for meeting fails, I will be either
supporting one of the proferred suspension motions or offer one of my
one. Killing this call to meeting is not making it go away. Let's do
this the right way. I ask you to join in this call for meeting.

Pacific to get joiners. It's not clear to me that the mere

an email ballot means that past statements of joining in a call
are not
meaningful - if that's the case, every call for an electronic
meeting
can be killed by 4 people putting an email ballot together on the
limine of the required notice time. However, in this instance,
where
there was no past agreement on time and date, I would agree that
support cannot be inferred.

From the policy manual, "Each committee member calling for an
electronic meeting must do so by emailing the entire committee
and
specifying the date of the meeting, time of the meeting, and
the
topic(s) to be addressed. Meetings must be so called no fewer
than 2
days in advance for committees with fewer than 10 members, or 7
days in
advance for committees with 10 or more members."
The call needs to include 1) date, 2) time, and 3) topic(s) to
be
addressed.
Previously there were six people requesting an electronic
meeting
for a
topic (suspension of VC Vohra- previously moved by both
McKnight
and
Van Horn), but there was no date/time specified. Those people
were:
Harlos, Katz, Redpath, Goldstein, McKnight, Van Horn.
Now there is a date/time specified (on a thread which implies
the
topic
is suspension of the Vice Chair), but since there is a
sufficiently-sponsored email ballot on a related topic I cannot
just
assume that the same people are willing to still sponsor the
call
of
the meeting under different circumstances. I have a lot of
email
clutter today, but so far I believe I have seen the following
people
join meeting calls:
01/28/17 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern (Harlos, Katz)
10/28/17 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern (Harlos, Hagan)
As a parliamentary matter, scope of notice rules would allow a
meeting
called to consider suspension to also consider a lesser action
such as
censure. The scope of notice covers anything in the range
between the
status quo and the proposed action which was noticed.
