[council] Council meeting calendar

[Alan Greenberg]

Cancelling that meeting presumes that a decision 
on the JAS report will not be deferred at the 
Sept 22 meeting. If it were deferred, a vote 
taken at the Oct 6 meeting would still be 
effective (ie a decision of the GNSO prior to 
Dakar, even if a day late for the official document cutoff).
