I strongly agree with Jeanne. Could we possibly do a telephone call to the

The motion has been seconded, so discussion may
begin. I am completely in favor of this motion but I am
aggravated by the fact that something so critical to the needs of
the AIS must wait until the discussion period is over and the vote
taken before action can be taken. In a face to face
action, it would be over in five minutes (or less). Tom
should be out, shopping and getting the equipment he needs to
complete the jobs the AIS needs to be able to handle in order to
function effectively. We need to find a better system for
emergency situations like this!
