Deja: if Tom was asked to attend a meeting and he has not stepped up in weeks, that’s a blatant slap in the face. [Note from Hannah: the request was to stay away ''until'' he could come to a meeting, Tom has fully complied with this request by doing all of his secretarial work remotely and not entering the space] I compare it to what we asked RAYC to leave for.

	Ellis: I think we should decide what’s the most Excellent way to move forward, not “what would Tom do” or “what’s the opposite of what Tom would do”.
