I have apparently erred. Not in my intent to be flexible and
inclusive but apparently within the realm of Parliamentary
Procedure.

I have learned that regardless of my intent, Parliamentary
Procedure should have dictated to me that Gail's change of vote
should have been included and that Alice's vote should not have
been. Parliamentary Procedure does not allow for common sense
nor does it allow for common courtesy. My fatal error, I have
both.

"A member has the right to change his vote up to the time the
vote is finally announced. After that, he can make the change
only by permission of the assembly, which may be given by
general consent; that is, by no member's objecting when the
chair inquires if any one objects. If objection is made, a
motion may be made to grant the permission, which motion is
undebatable."

Having said that:

Gail changed her vote prior to the Chair announcing the
results.

So let the record reflect:

"With 13 Advisory Board members voting, Motion 2007/08-08:
'Confirmation of Grievance Committee Slate' fails.

Accept: Alice Allen, Gail Kilgore.

Reject: Greta Thompson, Concetta Franco Phillipps, Jan Cortez,
Linda Blum-Barton, Sherri Bradley, Larry Flesher, Bettie Wood, Scott
Burow, Suzanne Shephard, Phyllis Rippee

Abstain: Cyndie Enfinger

Not Voting: Jason Mendenhall"

Alice Allen did not vote within the given time-frame and stated
that to the assembly:

So let the record reflect:

With 13 Advisory Board members voting, Motion 2007/08-10:
'Recall of Grievance Committee' passes.

Those voting 'Yes': Linda Blum-Barton, Sherri
Bradley, Scott Burow, Jan Cortez, Cyndie Enfinger, Larry
Flesher, Phyllis Rippee, Suzanne Shephard, Greta Thompson and
Bettie Wood,

Those voting 'No': Concetta Franco Phillipps, Gail Meyer
Kilgore and Jason Mendenhall.

Those not voting: Alice Allen.

The seated members of the Grievance Committee are recalled.
