Re: [council] Motion and document deadlines added to GNSO calendar

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

As a reminder, the suggestion is to extend the deadline for motions prior to an 
Open Council meeting only.

Are you saying you believe the Council should never consider "fresh" motions at 
these meetings? If so, is the rationale that the ICANN meeting week is too time 
intensive to give people time to properly consider motions?
