not vote per nod, vote if you are attached to a active nod (max one vote)

and this meeting i will take down a roll call which will be kept for the
meeting commitie and will be avalible to other commities after filling out a
c4 form in tripplicat and then a j17 form and posting it to every one who
possibly may have went to the meeting

or i will just keep it on a zip disk, which is ever easyer
