lots of things are odd with the bi-cameral setup we have now and with some of 
the lengths we are going to to make sure that every Sg is represented in every 
vote whether their council members are conscientious or not.  what makes it 
especially interesting is that the reorganization was supposed to give us a 
council that never voted and instead we have staff contractors writing volumes 
on the voting conditions and modalities.  one would think that voting in the 
council was much more critical then voting by the board.

but it could work like in those reality shows, where at the right time the 
chair makes a call and asks for the votes and confirms that it is the final 
answer.
