This is in fact worse than a simple vote at the convention. The Meeting
was attended by many who can be expected to "vote the line" My
impression, was, that most didn't have time or information enough to
really analize the bi-law changes we voted on. Addtionally, as Dan
Nelson pointed out during the meeting, many of those most intrested,
(the groewer)were at their vending sites and not able to vote. One
addtional comment, and that is that the meeting had many "non members"
attending. On several motions a hand count was taken, but no one
checked to see who's hands were being counted. Ballott voting would
assure all that the vote is fair!
