And the reason this cannot be pursued NOW and ONLINE is what, exactly?

Easier, perhaps.  Better?  To make a point of excluding members of ncdnhc 
unable to attend MdR?  Probably not.

Ahh, I see.  Exclude people for the initial discussion, then develop a 
false appearance of consensus, so that it will be much more difficult for 
serious discussion and modification online.

Ok.  Thanks for the clarification.

I keep asking where it is documented that things may be done on the list 
only AFTER a meeting.  One of these days, someone will need to provide that 
documentation, since it being used as the fundamental basis for -- to all 
effects -- disenfranchising people unable to attend meetings.
