RE: Motion to use AIS confer for the making and seconding of motions

["Brad" <zebrairis1@aol.com>]

Greetings:

Most electronic motions deal with administrative business and are of little
interest to anyone but the Board members and only a few of them actually
care. Although making a few motions on AISconfer may add an additional step
to the process I doubt if the additional effort required is more than that
of instructing the Board to redo motions that happened to be made on
AISconfer and the efforts of other members of the Board to move their
motions to AISdiscuss.

However, in light of John's comments I will modify, but not withdraw my
motion. 
       "I move that electronic motions maybe made on either AISconfer or
AISdiscuss and after they are seconded they be placed on AISdiscuss if
necessary for 10 days prior to moving them to AISvote."

All the best
Brad K

The fact that there are other than voting board members on AISDiscuss  
does not mean that non-voting members can make motions. Using  
AISDiscuss more accurately reflects the environment of a Board  
meeting at which non-voting members are in attendance.

Making and seconding motions on AISConfer then moving them to  
AISDiscuss, then moving them to AISVote unnecessarily complicates the  
process to no seeming benefit.
