Why don’t we just have a virtual (or online) General Assembly?A virtual General Assembly was presented as an option. After discussion, the Executive Council determined that our Bylaws make no provisions for a virtual General Assembly. Furthermore, there would be major logistical challenges in having a deliberative virtual General Assembly where everyone could participate according to parliamentary procedures.Our Bylaws require that to participate in the General Assembly, you must be “present and registered.†Without specific references to virtual meetings in the Bylaws, Robert’s Rules of Order, according to the parliamentarians, would interpret that requirement to mean that everyone must be physically in the same room.The Executive Council, after reviewing applicable laws and regulations, has the authority to propose changes to the Bylaws that could allow for virtual participation in future General Assemblies.Can we now change the OP to the original title, so we can discuss the 3 options brought to the ThinkTank________________
Answer…
Um…we don’t handle snakes AND we are good with folks going to the doctor.
It’s very possible the pandemic will be largely neutralized by late July, especially given how seriously authorities seem to be taking it.

I honestly think that will happen unless an AB specifically wants or needs to leave________________
Is the 2yrs for overseers the real issue here or the other 4-yr mandate no one is talking about yet________________
