things at the next meeting? Did the not – did the people that didn’t go can they go back <br />and watch the meeting and see the presentation and be able to vote when we have a <br />next quorum, is that possible? Or, if the presentation’s watched without quorum we <br />can’t do anything in regards to that presentation? <br /> <br />SW: So, um, because there are minutes that are done and are presentations that are being <br />held, um, the Commissioners can review the minutes and they can review the <br />presentations – if, at the subsequent meeting where there is a quorum – you would like <br />to take action – the Commission as a whole would like to take action.
