[statecom-discuss] Re: [statecom] Speaker Phone for Statecom Meeting ?

[Yarden]

Dear Ron,
Thank you for your communique.  There is a two-way channel required by 
our by-laws and by Massachusetts law, called a "quorum."  As of this 
moment you are a member of it, and your physical presence may be 
needed.  I do not know if the free speaker-phone
minutes that you seek will be sufficient to fulfill the requirement 
that a vote taken must have a quorum if it is to have standing in law. 
I leave that question to our parliamentarians.  At an MRG gathering, 
Thursday evening, planning the food we were to bring, some concern was 
expressed about whether we would have a quorum Sunday.

While I am grateful for your concern that we have a quorum, and your 
considerateness of the niceties of the laws of the state, I, who am 
less respectful, must remind you that the GRP, upholding Green 
Politics, is also concerned with Green Values. all ten, and building 
community.  Need I point out out that it is a long time since our 
gatherings have been graced by your presence.

Do make every effort to be truly present.  There is nothing to be 
gained in distinguishing yourself by 'egotistical absence' -- one of 
many tactics of Duopolistic politics, and emulative social behaviors 
that do not advance our common cause.  Consciousness and understanding 
may be more effective.
With sadness,
Elie Yarden
Cambridge
