Re:Re: Yugo Section Split -- The Importance of Open Communication

Doss,  the point I'm trying to make is that a vote is not required according to
the rules in effect at the time of the expulsion.  If you have different
information then please share it with us.  In light of the rules, it seems to be
a moot point whether the discussion ended in a formal vote or an unanimous
informal nod of approval.  Also, there was no representative of the Canadian
Section present at the meeting to present their side of the issue, nor were the
officials of the Canadian Section given any notice that the question of expelling
the Canadian Section would be considered.
