If it is a major motion - it is for a longer period of time. As the end of the 48 hours may come at a time when I'm not available - I call for the vote as quick as I can once the 48 hours has ended." The vote for Motion 99-33 was called for 72 hours after the discussion period was announced. At 84 hours, Teri asks for a further time extension. Now at 99 hours, my question to the rest of the Board members then is - do you wish for a further time extension - should we hold up this vote already called for? Will further discussion sway your vote one way or the other or are you ready to vote? In the past - policy has been that once a vote is called - discussion ceases. Thanks, Tim
