Makes sense to me.

And, it's probably worth noting that we're explicitly not using Roberts
Rules of Order.  Our constitution fills that role (and defines a very
different sort of structure).

[slipping on my P.A.S. hat:]  However, as far as getting the show on
the road.. I thought it already was (on the road)?  [I know we have a
potential vote, or so, but please be patient on that count.]

Thanks,
