Re: [chairs] changes in operation of TCs

The flip side to that (and the reason for stating it the way we did) is 
so that you don't have to keep taking roll call throughout the meeting. 
Having roll call at the beginning will let the chair determine right 
away if quorum is present and business can be conducted.

(Plus it encourages peoiple to show up on time :-)
