  1. I Strongly support this change as well, provided there are at least once a year face to face meetings.

  2. I should add that I meant the LNC itself should actually hold a once annual in person meeting.

  3. This was a recent change pushed by the group that was ejected in 2012, as a path to controlling the larger committees. It should be ended. However, the technical means should not be specified in so much detail.
