Although this is not directly addressing the thread topic, here is Gaspipe's description of a commission meeting that took place shortly after Paul Castellano was clipped.

Vic Amuso and Gas had to hide under blankets in the back of a van, where they drove to a garage to meet up with Benny Eggs. From there, they traveled through a maze of basement tunnels until they reached the final destination, which seemed to be at least a block away from the original entry point. Sometimes, the tunnels would be filled with rats, water bugs and the stench of sewage. (Chin would later hold meetings with other dons at 3 AM as he believed agents didn't work the graveyard shift)

For this particular commission meeting (the Colombos and Bonannos weren't represented), the agenda included:

a) Finding Castellano's killers. Gotti claimed he was working hard on it, lol.
b) Whether the Bonannos would reclaim their seat. The bosses voted no, but Massino was recognized as the boss.
c) Who would be the acting boss of the Colombos. The commission voted Little Vic Orena.
d) A formal vote of the new Gambino boss.....Gotti was voted in during that meeting.
