<div dir="ltr">To be clear, I wasn't asking the Chair to override the LNC and call a meeting. 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> </div>
<div>However, I don't think I'll get 6 requstors. Given that, what is the feeling about an informal teleconference at which no business is discussed?</div>
