</span>I disagree. As the motion is only adding members to a committee,<br>
there's no interference in process of the committee.<br>
<br>
By your logic above, the only people who could vote for the motion are<br>
those whose slot is not expiring; Samson, Ignacio, and Laura. And<br>
these three are the committee. ;-)<br>
