Re: [council] FW: Affirmation reviews / deadline for RT applications / possible further extension

[William Drake <william.drake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Ok, the dates in the action plan and motion need tweaking (process doc is 
unaffected).  If apps are due the 7th and Council selections are due the 17th, 

*When shall we say SGs must get in their nominations?  The 10th, after 
constituency day?
*Evaluation Team to submit its analysis to Council 14th? (gives them two days 
after the meeting)
*Special Council call for the vote on the 15th?  (We might want some wiggle 
room before the endorsement deadline in the event the first round results in 
inadequate diversity and the ET needs a day or two to work something out in 
consultation with the SGs)
