The meeting was called to order by Ms. Talia la Musa.
The purpose of this meeting was to inquire into the surreptitious authorship by Mr. Myles na Gopaleen, Jr. of a recent piece concerning the ancestry of Mr. Orville Slack IV, a writing that had been neither requested by the KRT nor passed through the regular channel, i.e., the Committee of the Whole of KRT, over which said KRT has, by both custom and law, complete control.
Mr. na Gopaleen moved we adjourn. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. na Gopaleen called for a point of order.
Ms. la Musa granted Mr. na Gopaleen a brief time (i.e., thirty [30] seconds) to explain his point.
Mr. na Gopaleen rose to deny authorship of any and all writings, surreptitious or otherwise, concerning the ancestry of Mr. Slack IV. As an addendum to his denial, he explained that if he did not compose said piece, it would follow that no inquiry should or indeed could be made into his putative authorship.
Ms. Ladrona moved we adjourn. Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Slack requested that a committee be appointed to investigate the veracity (my word) of Mr. na Gopaleen’s claim.
Ms. la Musa moved that the meeting adjourn, citing the water-under-the-bridge principle. Motion seconded by Mr. na Gopaleen. Motion failed for lack of a positive vote.
Mr. na Gopaleen moved that (1) an investigation be held by the Small Southwestern City Bureau of Investigation and (2) this investigation be concluded within a fortnight. Motion seconded by Ms. la Musa and passed by acclamation as we all scurried down the hall and to our left.
