1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,219

2
00:00:06,219 --> 00:00:06,760
Jim Key: Yes.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,718
So we have somebody else
at the procedures mic.

4
00:00:08,718 --> 00:00:09,920
Oh, we have two?

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,710
Oh, my word.

6
00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:16,710
Denny Davidoff: Moderator Key.

7
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:20,400
My name is Denny Davidoff
And I am a delegate

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,760
from the Unitarian
Church in West Port.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440
And I have this friend
who's not a delegate,

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,182
so she is not able to speak.

11
00:00:30,182 --> 00:00:32,015
Jim Key: That would
have been the first time

12
00:00:32,015 --> 00:00:37,260
in a very long time.

13
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:41,880
Denny Davidoff: So
I would like to know

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:48,050
where my friend and
I would go to offer

15
00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:54,120
a motion for the delegates
to vote on that would express

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,220
our admiration and
our commiseration

17
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:05,089
and our congratulations
to you, Jim Key--

18
00:01:05,089 --> 00:01:06,087
[LAUGHTER]

19
00:01:06,087 --> 00:01:08,083
--for a job well done.

20
00:01:08,083 --> 00:01:25,049
Where would we go to do that?

21
00:01:25,049 --> 00:01:27,544
Jim Key: I'm not as
modest as Sister Simone.

22
00:01:27,544 --> 00:01:29,070
Denny Davidoff:
Now, Mr. Moderator,

23
00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:34,884
if you do this right, we will
get to say it all over again.

24
00:01:34,884 --> 00:01:37,320
Jim Key: Well, I think
it's only appropriate,

25
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:39,590
since the moderator has
the power to recognize

26
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:43,460
non-delegates, I would recognize
your friend who is not yet

27
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:45,740
identified, if she would go--

28
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:49,510
Group: Whoa.

29
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:53,010
if you all would wish to go
to the amendment microphone.

30
00:01:53,010 --> 00:02:00,246
Denny Davidoff: We can do a
whole other shtick on our way.

31
00:02:00,246 --> 00:02:03,417
Speaker 1: No, he
said amendment.

32
00:02:03,417 --> 00:02:04,250
I'm the placeholder.

33
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:05,250
Jim Key: Take your time.

34
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:07,534
We're ahead of time.

35
00:02:07,534 --> 00:02:08,242
Gini Courter: OK.

36
00:02:08,242 --> 00:02:08,365
Great.

37
00:02:08,365 --> 00:02:08,850
Thank you.

38
00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:09,930
Jim Key: Sometimes
I feel like David.

39
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,600
I'm going to just--
the moderator

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,980
recognizes the
delegate-- oh, the friend

41
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:16,069
of court at the
amendment microphone.

42
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:18,360
Gini Courter: Well, I'm a
friend of a former moderator.

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,850
Jim Key: There you go.

44
00:02:18,850 --> 00:02:19,340
There you go.

45
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,320
Gini Courter: Thank you.

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,694
Gini Courter from the Unitarian
Universalist Congregation

47
00:02:22,694 --> 00:02:31,060
of the Grand Traverse in
Traverse City, Michigan.

48
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:33,800
My friend Denny and I, who is a
delegate, of course-- I'm not,

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,495
and I'm grateful for your
latitude in this matter, Mr.

50
00:02:36,495 --> 00:02:36,995
Moderator--

51
00:02:36,995 --> 00:02:38,405
Denny Davidoff: Which I
would have argued with.

52
00:02:38,405 --> 00:02:39,700
Gini Courter: Which she
would have argued with

53
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:40,580
and turned me down.

54
00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:49,165
So clearly you're the easiest
moderator we've had in a while.

55
00:02:49,165 --> 00:02:51,290
Denny Davidoff: But he'll
hear from other delegates

56
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:52,030
about this.

57
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:52,100
Gini Courter: Yeah.

58
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:53,411
I know, and that's a sad thing.

59
00:02:53,411 --> 00:02:53,910
That's OK.

60
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:55,534
Next year, you'll
have to pay for this.

61
00:02:55,534 --> 00:03:00,220
But what we want to do is make
a motion on behalf of the body,

62
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:05,770
and affirmation that we want
to provide our acclamation,

63
00:03:05,770 --> 00:03:10,010
our affirmation,
our commiseration,

64
00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:13,070
and our congratulations
on a fabulous well

65
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:14,700
governed General Assembly.

66
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:27,400
[APPLAUSE]

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Jim Key: I recognize the
delegate at the pro microphone.

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,152
Mr. Moderator, are we-- whew.

69
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:41,110
Jim Key: As we say in
the business, you're hot.

70
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:52,470

00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:54,720
Carolina Krawarik-graham:
I'm Carolina Krawarik-Graham

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,261
from Church of the
Larger Fellowship.

73
00:03:56,261 --> 00:04:02,860
And I, too, have a friend who's
not a delegate who, I think,

74
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,260
might want to speak
in favor of this.

75
00:04:05,260 --> 00:04:11,239
Would you make an exception?

76
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:13,780
Jim Key: I don't think we need
any more conversation on this.

77
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:14,770
Do you really?

78
00:04:14,770 --> 00:04:16,880
Carolina Krawarik-graham: I--

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,420
Jim Key: I recognize
the delegate

80
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:20,730
at the procedure microphone.

81
00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:22,430
Speaker 2: Near
Madame Moderator,

82
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:25,475
don't we require a 2/3
vote of the delegates--

83
00:04:25,475 --> 00:04:26,100
Jim Key: We do.

84
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:31,170
Speaker 2: --to break the rules
of order and introduce a motion

85
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:32,870
that's not in the--

86
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:34,310
Jim Key: So do we
have a proposal

87
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:37,100
to change the rules of
order, to allow the moderator

88
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:41,547
to allow yet a second
non-delegate to speak?

89
00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:43,130
Gini Courter: Actually,
Mr. Moderator,

90
00:04:43,130 --> 00:04:45,320
we were offering this in
the slot for responsive

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,740
resolutions.

92
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:47,652
Jim Key: Ah.

93
00:04:47,652 --> 00:04:49,972
No, you're too late for
responsive resolution.

94
00:04:49,972 --> 00:04:51,555
That should've been
at the moderator--

95
00:04:51,555 --> 00:04:51,880
Denny Davidoff: No.

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,110
Gini Courter: No.

97
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:53,443
We're just too late to tell you.

98
00:04:53,443 --> 00:04:59,085
[LAUGHTER]

99
00:04:59,085 --> 00:05:01,940
Jim Key: I'm caving on this.

100
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:03,440
Denny Davidoff:
It's never too late.

101
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,750
Jim Key: It's never too late.

102
00:05:07,750 --> 00:05:10,890
Would you like to bring a
friend to the pro microphone?

103
00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: I would love to, but
she seems reluctant to speak.

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,280
Jim Key: Oh.

105
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:15,203
OK.

106
00:05:15,203 --> 00:05:16,578
Denny Davidoff:
So maybe somebody

107
00:05:16,578 --> 00:05:17,981
could call the question.

108
00:05:17,981 --> 00:05:18,522
Jim Key: Yes.

109
00:05:18,522 --> 00:05:19,813
Denny Davidoff: Can I suggest--

110
00:05:19,813 --> 00:05:20,892
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

111
00:05:20,892 --> 00:05:22,600
Denny Davidoff: Can
I suggest acclimation

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,960
or unanimous consent
or we love you, Jim?

113
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,500
Jim Key: No.

114
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,116
We do have-- I recognize the
delegate at the procedure mic.

115
00:05:31,116 --> 00:05:32,740
Katherine Allen:
Moderator Key, my name

116
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:34,515
is Katherine Allen, from
Unity Church-Unitarian,

117
00:05:34,515 --> 00:05:36,210
and I would like to
call the question.

118
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:38,022
Jim Key: Thank you.

119
00:05:38,022 --> 00:05:40,290
Thank you.

120
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:46,080
So you've heard the responsive
resolution, so well thought

121
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,266
out.

122
00:05:47,266 --> 00:05:48,890
And we've heard pro,
and there's no one

123
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,080
at the con, so let's vote.

124
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:57,080
All of those in
favor by acclamation.

125
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,940
I think it carries.

126
00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:00,179
Thank you very much.

127
00:06:00,179 --> 00:06:01,470
And we very much appreciate it.

128
00:06:01,470 --> 00:06:04,260
I'm speaking in the-- you
know-- the editorial we.

129
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:05,020
Thank you.

130
00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:06,280
That was sweet.

131
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:07,160
I feel the love.

132
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,010
I really do.

133
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:20,550
