Unfortunately, I'm not available for telcons on May 25th.

(I have to say that I find this extreme attachment to a document written
at the dawn of civilization irritating in the extreme; and given the latitude
it gives small committees [such as this one] when it comes to some other

to decide on voting procedures that go beyond what was originally
contemplated.)
