Re: [council] JAS update and deadline

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

There were questions, but I've seen no real opposition to us pushing back our 
meeting.

I will therefore plan to push it back from Sept 8 to Sept 22. Once again, if 
anyone is violently opposed please say so. Failing that, I will update the 
agenda on Monday.

Thanks.

Stéphane
