DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: Friday, January 24th via email or postal
mail (no email attachments will be accepted; please send your
proposal/s in the body of an email) This will allow the Meeting
Manager time to compile all proposals and mail them to registered
meeting participants at least one week prior to the meeting.
Proposals submitted after that time will be considered for
discussion on the floor of the meeting on Sunday, and proposers
are responsible for bringing sufficient copies of their
submission. Please note that there is absolutely no guarantee
that proposals submitted after the deadline will find time on the
agenda.

Proposals submitted PRIOR to the deadline will be accepted on
first-received, first included basis as follows: 1st emailed
submission followed by first postal submission, etc., until in
the Meeting Manager's estimation all available business
discussion time has been allocated. The Meeting Manager will then
post a tentative business agenda listing the proposed agenda
items for discussion along with any items that did not seem to
fit, and will follow the will of the membership as much as
possible in creating the final agenda.  However, there will be no
expansion of time for discussion of proposals, as the Saturday
afternoon section of the agenda is already filled.
