operating procedures<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The relevant paragraph in section 3.3 of our operating
procedures<BR>clearly states that motions must be submitted "...no later than
8 days<BR>before the GNSO Council meeting." Given that our meeting is
scheduled to<BR>begin at 1900 UTC on the 8th, neither of the motions submitted
yesterday<BR>by Mary and Kristina met the deadline of 1900 UTC the
30th.<BR><BR>Again, given that ICANN involves one or more days of travel for
many of<BR>us, and that any 8 day period also includes at least one weekend,
I<BR>think it is crucial that motions are submitted as soon as possible
and<BR>the deadline should be strictly
observed.<BR><BR>Tim<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
