I believe that Ms. Harlos is asking for an actual paper ballot mailed to
delegates for a JC vote which is
expensive and not likely to get anywhere close to a 50% response. We
have no precedent or procedure for
an email ballot of delegates which is also likely to not get a 50%
response.
I am content to let the former JC's solution ride with no further action
by the LNC since we have no authority
in the matter anyway.
