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 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.
