Right.

It makes it clear that the Board is supposed to defer late business
rather than proceed with it - a matter which seems to have been
doubted. It also sets out what the basis might be for proceeding
anyway, the mechanism for making such a decision, and holds specific
officers responsible for enforcement.

But to be honest, I would be satisfied with a clear statement from the
Secretary and President that they will, henceforth, defer late
business.

If such a statement is not forthcoming then I would like the Board to
explicitly vote on my proposal, or something like it. At least then
next time it comes to elections we will know who to depose.

Ian.
