[Lpk-execomm] MOTION Motion to call D6 organizing convention

[Ken Moellman]

I am not raising objection in this case, but also asking that this sort 
of emergency-vote-by-email not become the norm.

The process of voting by email is outlined in a way that is 
intentionally meant to allow debate and to allow everyone to have a say. 
It is, by its nature, slower than an in-person or teleconference 
meeting. Emergencies are better handled by conference call, which is 
section B of the same operating rule (though that language needs some 
clean-up).

To set precedent, to permit voting in this way, would allow for 
ram-rodding. In this case, this isn't an issue that is controversial in 
any way, but this should not be the precedent going forward.  That is my 
point.
