History makes me concerned that we won't make good use of the extra time. This has been a topic for more than a year in the community and at the board level. I won't fight against moving the vote the 12/4 if everyone feels we will use the time wisely. But, my preference is to deal with this issue sooner, show that we can act and move forward.

I feel confident that the Board can be briefed in detail on the two options by Nov 4th and at that meeting, and we should not pre-judge if the Board feels ready to decide/resolve at that point. It is always open for the Board to defer a vote if, when the presentation is made Nov 4th, the majority feels that more time is needed for a Board resolution.
