After hosting a SWR in my back yard a few years ago I was under the impression decisions had been made prior to the meeting to vote down Linda Star's request for SWR support for the Sandia Grotto to offer to host a NNS convention. There were some intimidating tactics and rhetoric by some vocal members and when the "role call" voting happened both Kathy Peerman and myself abstained from voting. I don't think those tactics would work with electronic voting.
People in the SWR enjoy going to NSS conventions, just don't want host one! Sent from my iPad while waiting for.
