Blah, blah, blah, can I have the floor? Blah, blah, blah, I second that. Blah, blah, blah, 15 day non-voting probationary period. Blah, blah, blah, vote for a committee vice-chair. Blah, blah, blah, I would like to propose adding an item to the agenda.
So, I am presently in the middle of an 8am to noon conference call. We are following Roger's Rules of Order.
