Re: [council] Document Deadlines

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, but it seems to be a hammer that is being used in many places  
where on first blush one would not think it applicable.
So I wanted to be clear about it not being applied to GNSO council  
motions.
BTW, note that the Board imposed deadlines were working days, while  
our deadline is calendar days.
There are only 12 working days til Sydney (or is that 11) - GAC  
deadline has passed.
The other Board deadline is this week.

Whereas,  there are 13 calendar days  (or 10 regulation workdays)  
until the outside most date for motions for the council meeting.
Nonetheless,  the sooner the better for anyone working on a motion.

thanks

a.
