WHY ??
Can't be much of an emergency meeting if it can wait until next week.
Maybe it's because the BEC is made up of reps from all over the country and that is the earliest they can all be brought together.
Maybe some need to be released to attend?
And do you actully know the offer on the table or are you willing to ballot blind?
Let the BEC take the time required to come to a considered and fully debated decision.
