RE: [council] JAS update and deadline

[Adrian Kinderis <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How does it impact the tasks that are currently being worked on potential

Also, is there an impact to backing this meeting up towards the ICANN Meeting 
in Dakar?

I support moving the call back two weeks to Thursday 22 September.  We've come
