Hi<br>
I don't think you understood my question. A motion was raised on a Point of Order. The rules that you just quoted say that this needs to be dealt with immediately, I think this means that we have to (if we were in a physical meeting, we would stop, discuss, get a ruling, appeal, vote .. Before continuing on what we were doing - the original vote) focus on this, because if the motion on the Point of Order passes, the process that we are in will be judged illegitimate and will have to end. <br>
So I really think that we, in order to be correct, need to deal with Carlton's motion before the election process ends. If translation etc are making it take too long, then yes, we need to suspend or extend. I don't think a suspension needs to be requested per we, but in order for things to run properly, in official order, this may have to happen.<br>
