Re: AW: [council] Updated Council agenda 21 July 2011 at 11:00 UTC
Thanks for an excellent suggestion re the elections Wolf. However, I fear that
we already have a very full agenda and may not get to it.
Still, let's add an AOB 10.2 and see if we manage to get there before our 2
hours are up. I think the discussion will be useful, not least because with our
next meeting being in September, we will have to have taken a decision on how
to handle the elections by then.
Glen, please add that AOB on the agenda. Thanks.
Stéphane
