[Lnc-business] BALLOT 190203-1 Immigration Resolution

Wed Feb 13 02:03:41 EST 2019

CAH:  "I have always used that last column as an express abstention as
quorum is never an issue."

?? When I pointed this issue out relative to the September minutes, your
response was,"That is an excellent observation, and I will change the
language of "no vote cast" to absentions and include those in the total. "

All the tallies in the email ballots in the Secretary's report were then
updated to include all of the abstentions in the third number.  The change
I'm suggesting would make it consistent with the prior set of minutes.
