[council] Changes to GNSO Operating Procedures

[Novoa, Osvaldo]

All,
I'll go with Jonathan's option 2, since we are all in different time zones it wouldn't matter that the deadline changes for every meeting, as long as it is made clear in every occasion.  But I'll go with the majority position.
If option 1 is chosen I think that the fixed time-zone should be UTC.
Best regards,
Osvaldo

Asunto: RE: [council] Changes to GNSO Operating Procedures


All,

I'd like to close this off and move to posting it for public comment.

My understanding is that we are agreed on 10 calendar days as this is global
and meets what was originally intended.

As far as a time-zone is concerned, we have two options:

1. Choose a fixed time zone in which the 23h59 cut-off occurs.  There is no
universally fair time zone to use for a global audience but UTC seems as
close to a standard as we have.
PST provides for a later sunset but is arguably less of a standard than UTC.

OR

2. Agree that the cut-off is 10 calendar days (exactly) before the meeting
occurs.  This will mean that the time of the cut-off varies on a per meeting
basis.
This is probably most fair but could lead to confusion since it varies on a
per meeting basis.
Still, as long as the cut-off time is sent as part of the reminder in
calling for motions, it seems reasonable.

Any comments or inputs, please provide them ASAP before we move to public
comment.

Thanks,


Jonathan

How about using 23:59 PST as the deadline?
