<div dir="ltr">Susan, Woody earlier asked a good question. I was away and didn't see it till I saw your subsequent response. I do recall there have been e-votes in the past, just not very often, and I don't recall any specifics.<div><br></div><div>My *OPINION* is there's nothing wrong with what Susan's trying to accomplish. Since all votes are public, that is, no need for secret ballot, I think a reply to Susan or "reply all" is fine. If anyone WOULD prefer to protect their privacy, I'm happy to receive and tally the vote.</div><div><br></div><div>As you all know, I don't have a vote and I have no interest in the outcome, other than a shared desire w/Susan to move things along. My OPINION is we're not creating any dangerous precedents, and Susan has give us a safe word ;^))</div><div><br></div><div>thanks for listening, Jim</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 12:57 PM, Coulter, Susan K <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skc@lanl.gov" target="_blank">skc@lanl.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class=""><br>

<br>
</span>This is a one time thing that has been on our plates forever.<br>
Therefore this is a one time email voting request/procedure.<br>
<br>
The vote will stay open until Noon Mountain Time on Tuesday March 7, 2017.<br>
The identified person for each organization, as listed on the agenda and minutes roll call, is who shall vote for their organization.<br>
<br>
The roll call list was included in a recent email, and can be used to log your vote next to your name/org.<br>
Or you may vote by sending in a one line response, i.e. “LANL votes Yes”.<br>
At Noon tomorrow a summary of the votes received will be sent to this list for verification.<br>
<br>
BTW - I did not ask for discussion and/or if we were ready to vote.<br>
If someone feels the need for further discussion before voting, please state the desire to “Table the Motion”.<br>
If the motion is tabled, we will suspend the vote and move this discussion to the XWG meeting on 3/9.<br>
<br>
Pardon my use of executive power here, but I am trying to resolve this in a timely manner.<br>
If anyone is uncomfortable with this process, please feel free to "Table the Motion”.<br>
