Hey Darlene:
I'm following the discussion and just to contextualize your note, let not
your heart be troubled.  Instead, take pride in 10-14 people regularly -
regularly! - on a telecon! This, from a 22-member RALO!

To compare, my own RALO has 37 ALS. We set the quorum for a teleconference
to a bottom feeding 8.  And I can't tell you how many times we struggle to
have a quorate telecon.

You can well imagine how this works without an understand of what consensus
decision-making means, in practice.

...and why this idea that my job - in a voluntary association! - ought to
be akin that of a priest leaves me cold!

- Carlton
