“And the reason I asked, we were kind of talking about it. The reason is if this person, if their last minute they get a call, you've got to show up, but they haven't been to a meeting, how would they know how to conduct a business, I guess? So, again, I'm just thinking out loud. I would lean towards making it mandatory since they are going to get the stipend, I assume.”
