Regardless of other member's attendace, if you had 60-90 minutes
scheduled for DMB work you could have voted in the poll at that time.

I disagree; we have a mailing list for a reason, and we're supposed to
review applicants before the actual meeting so we're prepared.
Restricting DMB contributions to *only* scheduled meetings is a
personal choice for each DMB member, not a rule.

In any case, my vote on the proposal is +1.
