One idea is to extend the day on Saturday by an hour - not to vote, but to have the initial substantive discussion.</DIV> <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV> <DIV>So, would be people be willing to work an extra hour later on Saturday, i.e. until 19 instead of 18, so that we can have the initial discussion?
