No Escape From the Head Table

I have accepted an invitation from the Chairman of this year's WSFS Business Meeting, Donald Eastlake III, to be Deputy Presiding Officer and Parliamentarian. I may therefore need to be somewhat less vocal in my specific arguments on issues that may come before the meeting on account of there being a chance that I might have to rule upon them. That won't stop me from helping people draft proposals, however, as that's part of my job description, you might say.

Does this mean you will be wearing a bow tie the entire convention?

No; I have a different uniform. I think the only time I've worn a bow tie in my life has been the two times I've been in a tuxedo.

Actually, I don't wear my business suit anymore when I'm Deputy; it's only when I'm chairing the meeting, as I will be in Montreal, that I do so.
