I can't tell whether the changes that I had proposed are incorporated easily, as I could with a redlined version. Can that be posted as well? </span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">However, of equal concern is that this is an accelerated voting period of only 7 days. That makes little sense, especially with so many of the BC members occupied in a critical international meeting. </span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Would other BC members join me in asking for the normal 14 day voting period? I am not sure when that would close, but it would increase the odds of my having the time to read the charter and decide whether to vote no or yes -- not just have to forgo my membership rights to vote. </span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">I am seeing questions from other members still.</span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">While I know we need to nail this down and get a vote, and move to elections, it would be unfortunate to have potentially six or so of our members away during the shortened voting period and unable to participate in the decision, </span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></font></p>
