The Board adopted a weapons policy for certain AML events, as follows: All functional weapons shall be prohibited from American Mensa Ltd. National events, such as Annual Gatherings, Annual Business Meetings, Colloquium, Mind Games®, and AML Board meetings. Sworn law enforcement officers are exempt from this policy. For purposes of this motion, a weapon is any instrument, device or thing that is both
a) Capable of causing death or serious injury; and b) Either
i) Designed or specifically adapted for use as a weapon; or ii) Possessed, carried, or used as a weapon.
Passed: 10-9-1

No indication here if someone was absent, or if the one person listed as abstaining is the Chair (who in previous years would have been listed in a 4th category, not voting (as is typical of the chair unless needed to either break or force a tie, depending on their desire), for Yes/No/Abstain/Not Voting). We'll need to wait until the full minutes come out to see who voted in favor, who abstained, and why there is one vote seemingly missing from the above tally (unless one person was, indeed, absent).
