International Rally, Day Five, Part I
Well, I heard the "Save Wally" crowd had a big party last night. I'm not sure what happened there, but I'm going to get reports later today for sure. I called Colin this morning at his hotel and he was still sleeping, despite supposedly being on Eastern Time. Correlation? I'll find out.
I hope not all of them oversleep. The delegates meeting starts at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time, which is 30 minutes from this post. The smart people I've spoken to expect two things: (1) endless and tedious debate, with considerable input from the well-organized "Save Wally" people. (2) no name change will pass, since it would require a 2/3 approval from the delegates. It is unlikely there is enough consensus on any particular name for that.
Still, I have people in the audience who will call me by cell phone as events warrant. So you can expect information here today, regardless of the outcome of the meeting. Check back again later today ...
