[CyberTOPS] A question about Roll-Call

[Lori - cyberTOPS Owner]

I think it's very important to have roll call.  I can't see why they need 
to eliminate something unless they have a lot of extra stuff.  Roll call 
takes about 30 seconds per person, so 10 mins for roll call.  Still leaves 
20 mins. for other stuff.  If I was them I would extend the length of the 
meeting before omitting roll call.

I think roll call is mandatory (too lazy to go look in my book, but I know 
there are rules in there about how members respond to roll call).
