My comments are directed to the LNC as a whole, not you. If we're not going to meet, it would be nice to at least have a few members perhaps weigh in as to why email ballots - which basically exist, so far as I can tell, because in the past the technology for synchronous meetings didn't exist - are a better way to resolve this question, given the parliamentary constraints I mentioned this morning. <div><br></div><div>However, I don't think I'll get 6 requstors.

I anticipate flying to New York on that day, since there's something<br>
happening on Long Island the day after, but my personal availability<br>
should not be the deciding factor.<br>
<br>
The bigger concern I have with calling a meeting is that only 4 out of<br>
25 members and alternates have indicated a desire for one. If a<br>
majority of the committee wants a meeting, I'll call one. If not, I<br>
won't.<br>
