Seems like something is slightly amiss here, unless my memory is
failing.  I agree with <1> above, but think <2> may not be correct.

If the restated motion is correct as recorded, we would be unable to
vote during meetings, and every little decision would be delayed for
a week.  My opinion is that at the chairs' discretion, a voice vote
during a meeting may be deemed appropriate for some matters, while
the Kavi route could be chosen for decisions that require further
thought or additional participation.  But definitely the intent was
to disallow email voting.
