Enforced retirement: After 2.5 hours on the previous topics, people |
20 |
had to go to sleep and jokey's computer broke. Instead of waiting till |
21 |
the next regular meeting, because of its urgency, we scheduled a |
22 |
special session next week at the same time. The appeals will *not* be |
23 |
decided then -- it's about figuring out the validity and the process. |
