The the latecomers get badges?
No, not if they are going by the original list of 1146+alternates. That will NOT include latecomers.
I suspect (speculation) that there will be motions voted on by that group to then include the full list arrived at that morning and their alternates, followed by another vote on if to include the latecomers from the morning. So, in other words, the original list will decide who else to include, if anyone. That is good news for us, and again we have the chair to thank for that. He's doing it right.
