And I have a point of order. I do not understand how an email motion can be considered on a motion to rescind contingently. I understand Roberts discourages email voting for reasons such as this but if we are allowed ten days to vote - it should be ten days *after the motion is proper* and it is not proper until after something is actually passed.<span></span><br><br>On Sunday, October 23, 2016, Alicia Mattson <<a href="mailto:agmattson@gmail.com">agmattson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Below is my first draft of an alternate resolution to email ballot 2016-15. <br><br>Features:<br><ul><li>The only reason for us to say anything about it at all is our financial donation, so I have used that as context.</li><li>It does not contain language to discourage other elected officials from switching their registration to the LP in the future.</li><li>It is less lecture-y.</li><li>I did not opt to include a clause about returning our donation because it ain't gonna happen.</li><li>I initially thought I would mention the detail that he cast a deciding vote on the stadium deal, but when I went that route it got wordy and drifted into the weeds.</li><li>I phrased the resolution as an expression of deep disappointment rather than a censure, as censure is typically applied to someone who is a member of the censuring group.</li></ul>I'm just asking for feedback over the next day or so before I seek co-sponsors.
