RE: [council] Motion deadline per operating procedures

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

I can't stop you from raising your view as a point of order.  Let's spend some 
of our Council meeting discussing it as it's clearly a matter of great concern 
to you.

Not sure how "at least 8 days" can be interpreted as anything but eight
24 hour periods, at least on this planet. If it was intended to mean
anything different it would have been defined as such (8 days or any
part thereof). A "day" is universally accepted as meaning 24 hours.
