RE: [registrars] Motion on Interim Constituency Meeting

[Tim Ruiz <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Elana, neither of the motions I replied to&nbsp;here had anything to do with the Voting motion. I am only seconding the motions on the meeting, and was suggesting that they could&nbsp;be combined. I am NOT seconding the voting motion. I had thought about attempting to offer an amendment to the voting motion, but believe instead that it is unnecessary.<br>
