Start with the speaker queue, interpreter roster and final meeting minutes. It is the source used to make a decision about whether ward residents can question a proposal before it is reduced to a yes-or-no vote; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes the conditions at the Lower Ward meeting hall.
The latest count is 54 speakers who stayed through the vote; the prior file listed 52. The clerk has matched the claim to its source register and named the missing record. The difference is a signal to check, not a verdict about who is right.
The disputed point is practical: The old queue gives precedence to registered household heads; younger workers and recent arrivals say that rule screens out people most affected by the night schedule. One side relies on the posted total, while the other points to a chalk-marked speaking board beside the hall’s narrow stone entrance.
The risk of reading the file too broadly is that an entry becomes a conclusion. Sella Mor checked the speaker queue, interpreter roster and final meeting minutes against the field notes. The method is to listen for the point where an abstract rule becomes a household obligation; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
Next: The ward table will test a second speaking queue at its next open sitting. A useful update will publish the method, exceptions and review date with the number.
