If there is a situation whereby opposition occurs, the President has to be consulted and issue a decision. Figures and drawings don't make it through e-mail. Yes or no does make it through e-mail. Board votes cannot happen whenever you want, according to the By-Laws. Task a committee with the policy work.
Negative option is a good way to do that.
When policy is being set, we should have a full discussion - negative option doesn't allow for that. An objecting Board Member MUST take the initiative and make their objection known. If a Director has an objection send an immediate message to the sbe-team listserve. Dane, Terry, Ray and Chris will meet immediately after this meeting adjourns, and attempt to resolve differences in the Unattended Operation filing. IF they can be resolved, we will file on Tuesday, and the regulatory panel session will have something to discuss after all.
