The Senate has to be present to vote on a bill or or Impeachment as well. If a motion to recall is passed, it goes to LEC vote and you can do that from your house.
I do get what you are saying, but everyone wants to do everything from the comfort of their couch, and until a few technologies become cheaper, I just do not see that being doable for a LEC meeting. Esp if they cut their budgets.
You also can use a proxy if you cannot attend. I like transparency, and want to find every way possible to get everyone to participate. I do know that the ATL reps looked at a way to do "Go to Meetings" a few years ago, but from what I gather, the end user issues, and lack of delay function on the feed where the issues. We need to be able to have a mute or delete function along with a delay to protect our pilots.
What I find ironic is that we can fill the GA convention center for the JPWA or C2K but cannot get 30 guys to attend a LEC meeting. DTW is a commuter base and they have a ton of pilot show up. I want a meeting at the airport and have been pushing for that for years.
