People voting the day before are likely because they can't make the meeting so they won't see the presentations or discussion. Thus they should be considered not a valid opinion and barred from voting?
a vote without debate leaves a bad taste, be it in $parliament or at the NCC AGM. Indeed, it is not far away from a jury delivering a verdict before the evidence has been presented. The reason there is a debate/discussion of these items is to give proponents or opposers a chance to persuade even those whose mind is made up to change it. Unless one were to make the process entirely virtual and hold all debate on the ML, but then there is no need (except perhaps, legal) for a physical GM at all rgds, Sascha Luck
