<div dir='auto'>Thank you for the clarification Richard. Tho I am not sure I agree that it is an improvement.

<br>
I feel we were presented with an example of only one thing the Chair voted
<br>
on in that poll, not the full picture. I just found the same voting thread
<br>
and want to share the other option Mr Sarwarck voted on (attached picture)
<br>
in which he also says he will be attending and supporting the in person
<br>
section as well. It is possible to hold both beliefs and I'm not sure this
<br>
so much falls into bias given full context.
<br>
<br>
Calls to demonize our chair are just as bad as our chair pushing an agenda.
<br>
Be fair with each other. I will call out what I see but would hope that I
<br>
would be presented with the whole story to judge fairly. Yes, Nick should
<br>
remain impartial, however, by voting for multiple sides, he seems to be
<br>
maintaining that to a degree.
<br>
<br>
I still think it best that ALL of us remain neutral on such polling and let
<br>
the body do as it does if it does. Painting each other or delegates as
<br>
enemies of the party for disagreeing with your interpretation or viewpoint
<br>
is very troublesome.
