Don,
I have not taken the time to hunt up my version of Robert's
Rules, which, in any event, tends to address meetings procedures
and not record-keeping. However, the in most present and
historical contexts I'm familiar with, the normal practice is
that, if there are formal minutes (or equivalent) taken and
published, a roll-call vote is a recorded vote. "Recorded", in
that context, means who voted which way rather than merely that
a vote was taken and passed.
I assume the question was actually about why, when the IAOC
(quite properly) recorded the results of roll-call votes, the
LLC Board, at least for the cited
case, seems to no longer be doing that.
best,
john
