week prior to the meeting.

Proposals submitted after that time will be considered
for discussion on the floor of the meeting, 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

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.
