Use it if you must, but make a habit of it and destroy all creditability you may have once had.
When you have two councils and the reps from one refuse to do the pilots business because of personal difference issues, roll call is the only legit way to conduct said pilots business. Otherwise the pilots business goes undone. ALWAYS do your best to accomplish "what is in the best interests of the pilot group". Extra points given if you can name the rep who gave us that quote.
As far as your insinuation that using roll undermines credibility, I have to ask you this, "why were Council 109's choices for Negotiating Committee members not approved?"
