|  called for a
|  vote of the panel on an agreement reached with Jan Siren and Judyth
|  Mermelstein based on their [Judyth and Jan's] stipulation
|  calling for such
|  a vote. -- Sensible
|
|  Non-panel members comment. -- Sensible
|
|  Non-panel members vote. -- Nonsense
|
|  Former panel member asserts legitimacy of panel's actions while a member
|  while at the same time decrying such legitimacy under the same
|  rules since
|  his resignation. -- Nonsense
|
|  Constituted under the rules of the time and still extant, the panel that
|  remains is THE panel. -- Sensible
|
|  The panel is NOT the panel. -- Nonsense
|
|  The panelists who remain are failing the organization and
|  dooming it, and
|  must abdicate their organizational responsibilities and rights in that
|  capacity. -- Nonsense.
|
|  The abdicating panelists advanced the purposes of the
|  organization. -- Nonsense
|
|  The abdicating panelists are to be thanked while the remaining panelists
|  are to be excoriated. -- Nonsense
|
|  The current panel is de facto or *politically* illegitimate. -- Nonsense
