[Businessmtg] KBDM

[Emee Arthur]

It is my understanding that with the KBDM process the most important thing is that all the facts on an issue are discussed throughly until there is either NO NEW POINTS OF CONSIDERATION  Or that the MEMBERS HAVE ALL REACHED AN AGREEMENT. If there is still disagreement after the discussion is over, a montion is presented for a vote. I do not believe we are clear about what OLA_IS/OAOC is still doing for us so perhaps this part of the issue could be tabled. WSO may not help as much as we would like them to but until we are sure of a better place to send our abundance, I do not object to sending it to WSO for now.  However, I would like for us to form an ADHOC committee to researh the issue of Ola-Is and bring a report to our next business meeting so that we can make a more informed decision with our future donations. In this case I believe we would need a 2/3 majority vote.  We need to be given the number of members attending this business meeting before voting.  Could we please have a head-count of voting members? Remember that we need to include the abstains in the equasion.  Emee
