I am sorry he was not present at that meeting.   I dont know you but there
are plenty of other members who could have proxy blocked. Even me.   I do
not remember hearing from you. Please submit a new consensus item so we can
discuss it.   While I cannot attend tonights meeting perhaps we could work
out a gchat hangout so you could be present at a future meeting even if
this doesn't work out.  Let's be a bit creative with "attending" a meeting.
