[Lnc-business] Request for Co-Sponsors to Amend Policy Manual to Allow Zoom for E-Meetings

Well, okay, but this won't actually save us the cost of Adobe since, unless
I am misreading it, we'll still maintain an Adobe option.  I don't see the
cost of Adobe as an argument here when we'll still be paying it.  (That's
not a criticism, there are plenty of reasons this motion makes more sense
than one to get out of Adobe, not least being that we're in a contract.  I
just don't think it's a good argument for this motion.)

On Zoom, it looks to me like we'd be limited to the Pro package.  How many
hosts would we anticipate, umm, what's the right word?  Buying?  You know
what I mean.  Also, does Zoom have the multiple statuses we have on Adobe -
raised hand, agree/disagree, rabbit for privileged motions, etc.?

I agree with Daniel's point that we looked at various options for several
weeks before choosing Adobe.  If people want to move on to something else,
fine with me, but I would prefer a process similar to the one we used last
time.
