As I have known Beth for over a decade and consider her a friend, I feel it would not be proper for me to vote on this item.

I will defer to Jessi on this vote.

This item of business is too important for sneaking it through an email ballot, and it is morally wrong to try to shove this important and substantial matter down our throats without debate or discussion— especially since the legal strategy had been previously unauthorized. 

This is sleezy, shady, and corrupt. Why not just put this into the upcoming meeting?

I think this should be discussed and not reduced to an email ballot. 

If Mr. Ford doesn't vote on this, I will vote no.
